Factory Rear Window Defrost 1973 Dart Sport- how do I turn it on?

Hemihead2 · Oct 7, 2017

Hi all, I just bought a 1973 Dart Sport Export car that has factory electric rear window defrost according to the fender tag...where is the switch to turn it on? I'm hoping it's not missing but I can't find it. If it has been discussed before please point me in the right direction. Thank you!

Under the dash frame in easy reach of the driver.

Export order (car ordered from overseas) or one that was really exported?

Special Order export to Switzerland. 340 Auto- pretty cool.

Special like 999 paint or ?

It is a toggle switch on the lower portion of the dash to the left of the steering wheel . The switch goes directly to the fuse panel . Where in the fuse panel I'm not sure .

It’s a special order- built to international specs..ie Halogen headlights, special headlight flasher on the turn signal stalk, map pockets and grab handles on the door panels and over head... maybe more I’m sure. Like nothing I’ve ever seen.

What he said^^

I had a 73 Dart Sport, which had this option, and I should have never sold.
