Can anyone tell me what knob or switch is supposed to be in the dash closest to the driver? There is just an empty hole My guess is it is for the heater control. Better still can anyone tell me where all the controls are located? I found the choke and ignition but the rest are not operable so I can't try them
Thanks :confused: :confused:

The knobs in the recessed area where the ignition switch is are as follows-
Dummy plug-removed for installation of lighter
Next is the throttle,then the choke,then the ign.switch.
The heater switch, and defroster switch if so equipped were mounted under the lower lip of the dash,knobs facing downward, to the right of the steering column.You will see holes onder there for them.

Chevgene,thanks, I've located the heater switch. One more question, was there a stock switch in the dash above the headlight knob? Mine has something there.

Some folks mounted the Town and Country horn switch in that location.It would have been the switch plus the tri-angular plated behind it.The correct location for the switch was on the top of the dash above the 50 MPH mark on the speedo.
Other than that any add-on switch may have been mounted there by a PO owner.
