Default Rear defroster

In MY05, there are wires for the rear defroster window, but there isn't a button to turn on the rear defroster. Is there some kind of hidden button or did Honda really put a non-working rear defrosting window?

Normally it's on the opposite side of where the cruise control is. on the MY00-01's there is a blank cover in that spot. I think the 06+ models, they put it in between the Roof switch and the hazard in the center console. You may need pull the dash bezel off and see if there is a unconnected plug behind the blank. If so, just buy a defroster switch and plug it in.

Nope. On the dash behind the steering wheel if he has MY05.

Don't worry about it, bud. I've forgotten about where it was too the last time I needed it. Since I don't drive the car much in the winter, it is rarely needed and not very visible.
