    i have had this switch in my vw since owning it , i have no idea what it is for and it is not wired to anything , so have taken it out of the dash placing and i wondered if anyone could tell me about it -

    It looks like this

    No wire connector screws but i think i could find some of those if it is a part that should be working .

    looks like it might be a heated rear screen or something that takes a lot of power

    That doesn't look like original VW equipment. If it is you should find a part number on it.

  14. Could be anything. As above, as it doesn't have spades, it's some aftermarket thing. Folks fit all sorts to their busses.
