Trying to repair something I cut out that had previously shorted and fried. I am getting ready to add back the heater blower indicator light after a carpet install. First picture is what I have currently concerning the factory wiring for the center console. As you can see one wire is missing next to the red/white wire. I'm pretty sure it should be the black/blue wire that I had to cut out and currently have the wire nut on.

Is my thinking correct in this diagram about how to re-wire things?

It is not just for cars with the rear window defroster.

There is a light that goes in there on both center-console and non-center-console cars.

I don't know if early cars didn't have a light socket in there or not.

The light is hooked up to the instrument illumination lights, and will be on any time they are. That's what the black/blue wire carries--instrument illumination power. The light has nothing to do with whether the heater blower is running or not.
