No washer fluid pump.
It’s possible that it had a rear reflector, but doubtful based on the impression I got from the PO. Hesitant to bother him with this, but might if I can’t get it figured out. |

Follow the wires. May go nowhere now.
You may be able to re purpose it for electric water squirters, if its not already. |

I wanted to close the loop on this for anyone losing sleep over the purpose of the button. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) I didn’t see a pump. The owner of the shop I bring it to had told me a while back that he wouldn’t fail it on the state inspection for not having a windshield washer set-up, so I assumed he looked too. Therefore, I assumed there was nothing there.
I hesitantly ended up reaching out to the PO as I needed to know. Based on his response, it was for a washer pump and he forgot to mention it since he hadn’t used it in years. I’m not going to try it until right before the next time I wash it, as I don’t want whatever is in there on the paint. I truly wish it had any of the things in the replies, but I’m just not that lucky I guess. |

Any ideas on what this button next to the driver side speaker (on the clutch side) does/did? The PO mentioned that it had a dual carb set-up at one point so wondering if it had something to do with an electric choke, but purely a guess. It's the flux capacitor bypass. It explains the dual carb set-up. |
