LH switch panel lower right button?
« on: July 08, 2012 - 10:14:06 PM »
On my LH Switch panel I have 4 switches the lower right switch is a push button. As you can see in the pics the label for this switch is unreadable. Any one have any Idea what this would be for? Walking around Carlisle I didn't see any Hardtop E-bodys with this. I know on the Convertibles this location is for the top but no idea for a hard top. I have the foot pump washer fluid but could this be for electric washer pump? Maybe I have the wrong switch panel. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

The rear window defogger if you had that option.  It would have been a toggle switch not a push button

Car does not have rear defrost. I was told that there were very few cars that had a headlight shut off delay but that was a thumb wheel knob and there is a relay under the passenger side of the dash for it. Any other possibilities for use in that spot? Thanks

It's as Jamiez said. The rear defog switch location. The pushbutton there now was added by someone in the past.

The only other factory option to go there was the roof switch for convertibles. 

The bezel was the same from at least 72+ (possibly 70-71 as well).  So even if the car had nothing there, the panel contains the hole in the back for the switch, there is just no opening cut in the front. 

I imagine it was a popular spot to mount aftermarket equipment, just like the empty gauge spot on the standard cluster cars is often used to mount an aftermarket gauge.

It's definitely not for the electric washer pump in a stock config.

You could always trace the wires, as an add-on they should be pretty easy to trace down.
