 |
|
Hi Folks,
I recently purchased a mint condition 1985 Westfalia GL 2wd. I am figuring out most of the toys but, I was wondering if anyone could tell me what this one switch/button does? Allow me to describe it: It sits below the hazard lights and looks like a regular dash switch but with a small design of a box with a line through it that goes up and down ? Just want to make sure it is not the self destruct button. LOL If anyone knows I would appreciate it, I have looked in my VW owners manual and westfalia owners manual and this button is referred to additional switch? |

Sounds like some type of aftermarket addon my the PO.
Pull off the gauge cover and see where the wires go?

| Thanks folks, I think the top switch on the right side is the rear defrost? I think the go in this order from top to bottom: rear defrost,hazard light, and this unknown switch(possibly ejector seat!). Now I don't know if this vehicle could have a defroster and a defogger? Anymore thoughts? |

| I don't know if this helps,but it is a Canadian bus? I went through all my VW lit. and still only see it referenced as a "additional switch". |

Hi Folks,
According to a dealership in Canada, it is a defogger switch, who knew? I never would have guessed. |
