What is the switch for - on the lower driver's side console area near the drivers right knee?

I'm not quite sure exactly where you mean,but on my 82 your describing, I think, the rear window defogger switch,but I'm not near the car now and trying to recall from memory.Does your year have that option?

Yep, rear defrogger!!!

Certainly is the defogger switch. Should be a 3 position rocker switch, center is off. If the defogger is not working, the fuse is located behind the small panel the switch is mounted to.

Thanks guys, I bet that is it because I do have a defogger.

3 position?? Mine on my '76 is only 2 position - on/off. What's the 3rd position?

Eric,

The 3 positions are high, low, and off. Mine has off in the middle of the toggle switch.

Hi Owen,

Did you see my questions about the 76.Do or have you had these problems

Thanks

The switch on my '76 is also a 2 position with a small red light when it's on.
Maybe the early 76's and later 76's had different switches??

My 75 has the 3 position switch. I may have given you bad info, and I apoligize if I did. Perhaps the defog was only single speed starting in 76. Easiest way to tell would be look at how many wires are going to the motor. 3 wires would be 2 speed, 2 wires is single speed.
