Good day folks.

1 week into ownership of this beauty I'm trying to fix some issues (mostly electrical). The defrost light is non-functional and I don't know how the switch actually works. I've opened the switch (as attached), the bulb is in good shape but the light doesn't come on. I see 1 wire coming into it - split into a blue and black one attached to the bulb I assume.

The switch seems like a dummy tbh but it isn't. How do you even turn it on? Mine just wiggles freely. Hoping someone can shed some light - waiting for my Haynes manual to arrive - so hoping I can get a head start trying to fix this. Its cold out in Toronto.

Thank you!Attached Image

I have an early car so no defrost light but I just went through getting the engine compartment fan to work. My lever was disconnected from the wire in the tunnel. A PO had extended that wire at some point. I re did the connections and it now works great.
