Default Where is my Rear Window Defrost Button at?

I'm setting here thinkin about my mustang... and where is my rear window defrost buttion at? I bought a repair manual for my mustang. "Haynes Repair Manual" Ford Mustang 1994-2003. Well anyway i was reading threw my book and came across the RWD button. *rear window defrost* and i was like "i dont remember having one of them. So i got out to my car and look where the button is suppose to be located at. ITS NOT THERE!!! The only thing there was a cover and when i took it off it revealed a plug lookin thing. Its a 2000 Ford Mustang V6. I was wondering if anyone else is missing this button.

P.S. I'll post some pics of it in a few minutes i gotta run my fat butt out there. ITS COLD!!!

Thanks,
Xilan

Mine is there. Do you have small orange lines across the back of your window on the inside?

I no thats prolly what i'll have to do but i was wondering why it wasnt there in the first place. Like if the factory had made it without the button or what... and why it had a cover over it... its weird... I'll figure something out.

if your windows are tinted, don't waste your money on using it. All it will do is bubble up your tint!!!
