I searched for the other version by the knee or steering wheel, no wheel exists there and no cutout down there at all. |
Is there no panel west of the steering wheel and south of the left side air vent? What is filling what? Could you post a picture?

Just the opposite: the engineers, to translate a German expression, "cooked with water" and used an old-fashioned rheostat. Rheostats are less expensive than modern solid state controls (or were?), but are difficult to impossible to protect against shorts.

That is more cooking with water. Would you prefer to replace multiple rheostats?
