Unidentified Under Dash Light

[grubby65]

This light was under the dash of my 1964 Dodge Polara just kind of laying there. Can someone help me identify it? By looking at the wiring diagram it looks like it should be the "Heater Vacuum Switch Light". What is that?

I have the same one, on my 64, but not plugged in, yet. Was thinking glovebox light?

Another part of the puzzle. I'll check that out.

Wasn't there a courtesy light that lit up the drivers floor area?

Someone like pushing buttons.

That's the whole reason for owning a 64 and older Mopar !

You know, I forgot they lit up! Been working on this '62 too long. The pushbuttons don't light up on them. Solid black plastic.

Yep, That's it. I have a Vintage Air system in the car so the controls for the heater have been replaced. Thanks for the help.

What model 62? My 62 4dr Belvedere has the translucent pushbuttons.

Polara 500. The bar at the top of the buttons are illuminated.

I guess the fancier Plymouths had the translucent buttons.

I always had the idea that the big Chryslers started those. Learn something new everyday!

That is a pretty neat setup as is, at least you can see it at night. My 69 Ply had zero illumination for the heater controls so I added a 1970 factory light bar.

Those are a couple cool looking dashes.

Yeah and threewood has that mini tach. How cool is that!
