Recently I had taken apart my dash and found that where the SVT buttons for the rear defroster are, there is a plug next to it in the blank dummy on the right side. On the mondeos I noticed they have a rear defrost button like ours, but also have a front defrost button where ours has a dummy blank. So my question is this.... Since the wires and plus are there for another button, if I got the mondeo part, would the wiring for that button, where there currently is no button? And would that give me a front heater? or something like heated mirrors??
 
a few of the really early 98's had it. and there wasnt a switch to turn it off. I remember reading a couple of threads on it.
 
Well.... it would of been sweet wouldn't it, if they would of installed a heated front windshield thing and not put a button there. I guess this is what i'm down to, I got the wires there, and I assume there is probably a spot in the fuse box for it, suppose if i were to get a button and fuse it would add that turn off option? I guess it wouldn't really be a point to having it, unless it would help me drive in winter..... Which i've never had a problem with before, and never had a vehicle with TC yet....
 
If you don't have factory traction control you don't have the ABS module for it.. you'll have the wriing there for it as it's inlcuded in the other wires for the one harness that goes to the defroster, but it is 99% impossible to add traction control to your SVT. They do not make the appropriate module to work with the LAter SVT's, as it's been said by many on here and a Ford Dealership I called.
 
The end to all crazyness...

Ok first off it is the defrost for the windsheild.

As an option the Mondeo could have all climate controls with buttons. Where our clock's are they had push buttons to control air flow through the vents, floor, or both as well as A/C on/off. I saw one setup like this in a picture somewhere... I can't seem to find it though.

I actually bought one of those defrost buttons to turn into a fog light switch.

What are you guys planning on doing?? Kind of interested. As far as the switches you have to search eBay. That is where I got mine from.

Interesting!

I doubt I have it, though... I can definitely spin my tires :cool:

Plus my ABS system goes haywire when the tires are spinning a lot, say up a 9500ft snow packed pass :ponder:

Kinda sucks going down said pass (which happens to be the continental divide) without ABS...
