whilst recently attacking my heater matrix, i noticed a small black slider switch on the underside of the dash (just below and to the right of the choke) i flicked it around and nothing happened, even with the ignition on.

Whats it for?

to save power when parked - used to leave your PARK lights on (funny that)
