farmall Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 Hey guys, I went to get a part off of a 1971 monte the other day. I decided to check it out real good while I was there just to see what it once was. I noticed that there was a wire coming off the rear view mirror. I tried to take a picture but the glass was just too dirty. Does anyone know what this could be for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam (Bones) Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 map light and I bet it's a gray wire...correct? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
farmall Posted July 12, 2015 Author Share Posted July 12, 2015 I think it was gray Sam. This car also had a switch for rear window defroster. It could have been a highly optioned car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Peters Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 Sam is right, it was a map light mirror. If the mirror is still there and in decent shapr it may be worth salvaging to restore it. It wasn't a super rare option but it was an option just the same. rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mo's70MCs Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 Yes in fact a map light.. I have a picture of the map light under the mirror and if you look closely you can see the grey wire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
farmall Posted July 13, 2015 Author Share Posted July 13, 2015 Looks like I will be going back to get that if possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
montefrazer Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 Any parts for the rear defoger are worth getting, too. The switch is correct for any 70-72 Monte or Chevelle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
