Rear Window Defroster Button - Where is it?

I can't seem to find mine >_>;; am I blind? its not on the HVAC controls. I don't see any button for it. I noticed Maro's have a fat rear end and I can't seem to see around it without the rear view. Full of frost. Any suggestions? (Yes I have the lil black lines going across)

97 might be a newer dash than mine but mine is right next to the steering collum, to the right, a little switch that will light up when it is on...


edit: o and if the black lines are on the top and start off thick, and get thinner, then its probobly doesnt have defrost.

and i think the defrost lines arnt black, their like some baise color or something...

off to the right of the steering column in my 94, dont know if they switched in the 97's

Here's exactly where it is.
Look at your HVAC panel - where the big knobs are for fan speed, hot/cold, etc.
The bottom left of that panel has a little round button, that's it, theres a light above it that should go on when you push.

leave it to 97 to Save The DAY! lol

i cant imagine that a car built in 97 would not come with a defroster. i think around here you have to have one to pass inspection, not sure though...

that would definatly suck

I can't find it guys I'm sorry where is it? Not seeing any buttons to the left of the HVAC pics would help please.

how about you take a pic of your controls and maybe one of us can point it out to you.

Look on your RPO code list (located on the drivers door) is the code C49 there? If it's not then you car didn't come with a rear defogger. I've seen camaro's with out the rear defoggers but usually they are in places with warm weather. Didn't you say your car was from Florida? That maybe why it doesn't have one.

Texas.... Lemme go check if it has it...

Erf hey guys the side panel is sprayed over with paint I can't read it. Where else can I find that information?

well u either have the button or u dont so.....

I dont. :( Bummer. What about the driver side panel thingie, are there other ones?

post up a pic of your HVAC...
apparently my car was from florida originally but i have the defroster.

why would someone special order a car without a rear defroster? i dont care were you live it just doesnt make that much sense...

Weight reduction!!! :evillol:

sorry, i had forgotten how much those things weighed...

the little lines make them feel claustrophobic....?

"Rear defogger 0.4lbs..... " looks like 97rs was right.....lol

If your car doesn't have a RPO code list on the door you might be able to go to your local chevy dealer and ask if you can get a replacement.

Would they do it for free or am I looking at some cash?

Here is a pic of my controls along with my new Clarion stereo. :boink:

Nope I dont have that little button, and above the stereo the 2 buton spots and the 'camaro' part, what is that button for?

The one above the stereo is the fog lamps, the lil button next to the fan control is the rear defrost

I think they will charge you some $ for it... Some dealers are nice and will do a print out for free... The two buttons next to the Camaro emblem on 97- 02 cars are the fog light button and traction control if it was ordered.

Or Fog light and second gear start...

my brothers 98 Z28 came with no rear defrost, and no lines on the back window

Mine has no defrost but DOES have black lines. :( Just gonna buy a squigee for the winter.
