Default i entertained myself for 3 min

trying to find out what this switch is for. its on the right side of the steering column between the radio and the column. i was sitting there flipping it for 3 damn minutes trying to see if it turned something on or not. its a horozontal switch.

is it ASR?

My guess is 93-96 Camaro and the switch is the rear defogger. Hows that for a guess?

It was put there so people like you would waste three minutes of their life trying to figure out what the hell it does: when it doesn't do anything at all




J/K I have no idea what you are talking about

its not a kill switch for sure... its a factory switch with a square and squiggly lines in it. thats why i thought/think its TC/ASR.

it's your rear de-fogger. I have a button with similar markings in my car, and that's what it does when I push it

Here's how you test it:

1. Find the connection on the back glass (should have a single wire going to it)

2. Unplug it and put a paper clip into the connector and make sure it is a tight fit

3. While holding the paper clip have someone else hit the switch and if it zaps your *** then you know if your rear defogger works
