Can someone please tell me what the switch is for that is inside
(toward steering column) of the right-side air vent handle? My
earlier Wagoneers have all been 1984 models, and were not equipped
with this switch.

Grand Wagoneer (SJ) or Baby Wagoneer (XJ)?

XJ should have a switch for Power that changes the way the automatic
transmission will shift.
Is this the switch you are referring to?

Hi Randy,
Curiosity would made me turn it on and see what it worked, Maybe the
rear wiper?

Could be, but if I knew, I wouldn't have asked. All I can say is it's
a switch that is not on any of the earlier Wagoneers I've owned.

Yes, I'm sure any idiot would have done that before asking, as I did.
I could not tell what the switch controlled, thus the question.

Well that rules out my answer of "driver ejection seat"

Is it OEM looking or possibly installed by the last owner?
Got a photo to put up on a website?

WELL you could take out the switch and see if it is even connected to wiring

That's a good point. I am going to at least trace the wiring today,
but during the night it occurred to me that it is most likely the Fog
Light switch, as in my previous GWs that was under the dash on the
left side, but there is no switch there, so the "mystery switch" is
probably that one.

Thanks to all who responded.

It's the ejection seat button.

There's no way to help without a better description. Does it look like a
factory switch or an add-on? Is there an alarm, if so this is the Valet
Switch.
