I replaced the bulb on the back of the heater-ventilation controller on the right today. The bulb lights up when the fan is engaged.

Question is on the left there seems to be a bulb socket, but no bulb or evidence of there ever being one on the left. Did the early 914's have a bulb on the left?

You has the early one like the European version

The German version doesn't have a bulb behind the red
sign also no bulbs behind the arrows

Yeah, one would think that there would be a bulb there to show when the heater fan in on. So I put one in. I took the power from the blue side and used the heater lever as the ground; the light only goes on when the fan is on (the lever is the ground for the fan). I've posted this before, but here is the pic again. Also, I believe that the arrows glow in the dark.

There is nothing to trigger Heat On in a -6 wiring.
