What's the answer to this question??
Been working with a fellow in France and he is trying to figure out what the 2nd switch under the dash should be. He has a rear speaker switch now so I told him it had to be power antenna or power top and it should be pretty obvious. I also told him it could be a reverb switch but not if he already had a rear speaker switch. Here is his reply in French, "Rebonjour,apparement ce serait une commande d antenne ou de capote.auriez vous cela ? ".
Translates to "Well, apparently it would be an antenna or condom control, would you have that?" Must be an option I never heard of....................you? Why is it always me?

“Why is it always me?”
Well Richard, I mean Bob, Because it’s YOU. I’m assuming this is a 64 you and your France fellow are dealing with? If it’s a 64, the “rear defogger” switch would be located down under, or a power top.

Condom ... = "cover" = convertible top.

Capote means hood or bonnet, but I believe that, unlike British, they could mean the soft top.

I just asked my daughter who speaks french and she said that it (almost) litterally means soft top. I say almost because the words are reversed like many languages.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
