We have an 82 Eagle Limited wagon and love it.  We need help in identifying the button on the left of St. Wheel and just to right of
4 Wh Selector module. It has an emblem that we don't know about.
 

 

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks for your prompt response. It now makes sense. The button appears to have an electrocal circuit or two. Do you know if the activation
is made use a solinod type flapper?

Well its not the vent knob if it has electrical wires running to it. The vent knob is just a manual pull type.

Had to be an add-on something-or-other.   Eagles didn't have any switches or buttons there factory.   The fog light and load-leveler switches were to the left of the 4wd selector.   Maybe a dealer-add-on rear defroster or whatever.    We need a pic for sure.
