Button next to OBDII connector

Judging by the rear wiper/washer button to the right, my educated guess would be rear defrost?

You won’t know until you trace where the wiring goes.

Could it be related to that box on the right labeled rear wiper/washer?

I don’t know if that’s OEM or not as mine didn’t come with a hard top, but I know I don’t have that box under the dash.

Hi tom, That's just where the fuse plugs in for the rear wiper/washer. Why its located there I don't know.. My toggle switch for rear wiper/washer is on the dash beside rest of toggle switches on the Rubicons.

Ya that's just where the fuse for the rear wiper washer plugs in at that's hanging down. My defrost and wiper toggle are on dash.

I just remembered I knew a guy who had a switch for shutting off his odometer while driving. Have you checked that?

It also shut off his speedometer so he’d use it when he had the cruise set on a long drive.

Whatever fuse that is, it isn't factory.

My stock 05 LJR does not have one. Is it a momentary switch or on/off? What gauge wires and how many.

 

[MikekiM]

It's a momentary switch.. Or does it click on/off?


Rear washer spray? Do you have a hard top?
Kill switch override?

My Jeep has the same button. Mine is the "Valet" mode button for my Viper alarm system.

I do have a hardtop but don't know if it's a factory hardtop or not. Build sheet states softtop. I have wondered about rear washer spray but I don't see that the push button is doing anything. I just checked tho and my rear washer fluid is on the toggle switch on the dash

I don't believe I have any alarm system. Don't have one on the build sheet anyway

I do have a hard top but don't know if it's factory top or aftermarket hard top. From my buildsheet it states under optional options a soft top but it makes me wonder why I have toggle switches for rear defrost, and rear wiper /washer if not a hard top from the factory.

Mine is not factory and the PO never told me about it. It also has remote start. It came with a key fob and I had to Google it to find out it was a viper system.
