    Can you confirm the 3-prong (round) connections?

    Rear defrost from a 308GT4. The only switch in those cars that is completely different to all the others, with an illuminated icon.

    It looks like a GT4 switch and is also more or less the same part No. minus the 06 but my one doesn't have round terminals.My one also has a chrome surround but that might just be the one they had at the time when they made the car.

    Part number 40094906 is listed in Tavola 118 of the 1979 GT/4 (Maggio 1979) Parts catalog as "interruttore lunotto termico"

    Punching this into a translator, it means directly means: switch/rear window (auto)/ thermic, or in English, rear window heater switch.

    Hi,
    If it is not for the GT4 I would guess it is for the 400i and yes, the translation is correct.
    Saluti,

    Alright, here is one for you guys:

    What was the only year that that switch was used in the 208 GT4?
