    Center Console Button/OBC Lights

    1) Top left between the manual shifter and the ashtray is a single button, unmarked. I don't know what it does. Anyone know?

    2) Sometimes my OBC lights light up and sometimes they don't. A good hit to the side of the console doesn't fix anything, anything else it could be beside loose wires?

    1) is a window circuit breaker that should trip if you were to roll your window up on your head.

    2) watch more of the show "Happy Days" to see how it is done to bang on something and it start working ... or try to replace light bar and seperate bulb in back of the OBC if wiring harness connection is good and tests good.

      noo for 1) i don't mean the button next to the rear defrost and the emergencies, i mean literally on the console next to the other window buttons but more towards the ashtray, it's about half the size of a window button and it's just a little square

        Take a picture as some of these cars had the window circuit switch on the console where you are saying this switch on yours is located at. But it sounds like your circuit switch is in the climate control panel above the radio.

            i figured it out. there's a circuit breaker for all windows near the hazard and defroster near the vents on the dash, and then there's a circuit breaker for just the rear windows near the shifter and the window switches.

            but i still don't know about my poor OBC lights :(

                your OBC needs a new lightbar, and its a $2 piece on ebay or Pelican.
