Hi All

There is a switch I'm not sure what it goes to on the drivers side of the console near the gas pedal on my 72 cpe. Does anyone what this switch is for?

Thanks
Matt

If it's a factory installed switch, it's the rear window defogger.

If it's an aftermarket switch, it's anyone's guess.

That's where the switch is but it doesn't have a **** on it. I didn't know there was a rear window defroster in it. I don't see any of the normal rear window wires in the window Since it's a removable rear window, How does it work?

In my '74, that is where my rear defrost switch is. Mine is a black toggle switch. ( factory)

It has a motor that blows air on the window, kind of like the front defroster. If it has it you will see the vent back there on the drivers side, I think.
