Default Heated seats buttons

This may seem like a silly question but I can't figure it out.

On my grandfather's 05 ram, there are 4 buttons on the dash below the a/c controls, the two outermost are for the heated seats, but the inner two are blanked but the same shape and size as the heated seat buttons.

What option would those blanked buttons be for?

Normally the electronic 4wd shift **** goes on the other side.

Power sliding rear window I know is one option. Not sure, but I think that heated rear window is the other option there. Those are just punched out spots, but covered up for the vehicles that don't have those options.

Slide yes, but the heated window ties into the mirror defrost, so its for something else. Try looking in your owners manual.

On the power wagon, the swaybar disconnect is there, but that only fills one. I put my qtp cutout switch there. I don't think the 03-05 had a power sliding rear option....cause I could use one of those!

They also may have used that panel in the Durango or other vehicle that would have needed the other switches.

I have every possible option for 2003 and they're blank.

Same. Mine's loaded and still got the 2 switches blank. Maybe my cutout switch is gonna go there. Anyone have a place to get the actual switches that fit in those places?

You sure about that? In automotive class, we've come to the conclusion that the switch under A/C for defrost is mirror only. The trucks have no vents or the lines through the back windows for rear window defrost, and my truck has no relay for rear window defrost.

You guys have my curiosity about what goes in the two slots between the heated seat buttons. Also, any of you know for sure what year they started offering the power sliding rear window?
