just empty space
the switches can be removed and replaced with working ones if you have need

Ah yes, I've got one of those. I can only thnk it is the wiring loom in place for optional extras so that they can be plonked in with no fuss should they be wanted

They're for those of us who have the non-delux version with electric blinds

Dbo and myself was on a hunt in his freda looking for the plugs behind the rear panels so that leccy blinds could be retro-fitted to his... after quite a while of searching (fruitlessly) i decided to have a peek behind the blanks referred to above for a hint to the colour of the cables we were searching for...suprisingly, the plugs are there up front for the blinds...but nowhere to be seen at the rear

I suppose they are tied up somewhere further up the loom,and the mazda technicians never bothered to route the cables,as they knew they wouldn't be utilised

(till now)
