Not clear where it is located. Looks like nthe disabling control to stop the rear windows being opened by rear seat passengers. (as in grandkids)

Yes, Alastair is right....located on the top left of the centre console, just in front of the armrest. It stops the lit'luns climbing out the rear windows when they can't open the doors because the child locks are on

As I remember from mine, it only disables the rear switches...with it pressed you shouldn't be able to open the rear windows from the rear window switches
Mine didn't light up, it would have been attacked with the soldering iron if I'd known

The rear door switches do not lift or down the rear windows at all, fronts do however. So switch on says to me that there could be a short ?

Hold up...it's late and I'm confused
With the switch pressed in (at least I think, it may be out ) the window switches on the rear doors should be disabled, press it again and they should be active. The switches in the front should always be active

Mine does't light up either. Careful when/if valeting your car though. I run the hoover nozzle over it and it gobbled it up. It's very messy disecting a dyson for the sake of a bit of plastic.
