Extra Rocker Switch on 77 450SL Console

I have a third rocker switch on the right side of the center console that I cannot figure out what its function is. It is located beside the shift lever, above the passenger side window switch. It is a momentary rocker switch, ie it returns to the center position when released. It looks to be original equipment. I can't find any reference to it in the manuals.

Anyone have any idea what this is for??

Thanks

Mike

Could it be for seat heater, driver's side only? What are the option codes on you your plate on the radiator support?

The switch is identical in appearance and operating mode to the window switches.

I don't think it is a seat heater switch as there are two seat heater switches (look like they were installed as an after market mod) located below the window switches.

think you could post a pic? What happens when you push it in either direction?

How about aftermarket installation of a power antenna?
