Found this under the dash

Featured Replies

1973 240z. Was working on the heater and came across this toggle switch stuffed in behind on dash on the lower right side. Any idea as to what it would control. It's  centered and will toggle up and down but always returns to center.

I was thinking maybe for the antenna. Thanks

Thanks Dave. Where would this had been mounted? There are no holes in the dash for it.

Historically, Nissan built the antenna switches into the radio faceplate for the 240 series.  I've not seen a factory radio setup for a '73 so I can't guarantee this.  Does your car have an aftermarket radio?  If so, that might explain how your switch got evicted - especially if you no longer have a working power antenna.

On my 73 the antenna switch is on the right side of the stock radio faceplate although its more of a rocker style switch than a toggle

There you have it - the toggle switch mounted to the radio and controlled by a slider button that is on the top right of the radio faceplate  Thanks George..
