Hey there,
I am new to this site, referred by a friend. I just purchased a 1988 Honda Accord from a guy who posted it on this site. This is actually my first Honda. I have only owned domestic cars before this.
My question is about a couple buttons in the car. To the right of the ignition there is a three switch panel (well two switches and a dimmer wheel). I figure the first swith on the left is high beams, the middle is the dimmer but I can not figure out what the button on the right does. Here is a pic:

The other button is in with the environment controls. It is a button that simply says REC. Now I figured that this was the rear window defrost but it does not seem to do that (now it could be broken too).
Oh and one more question. Underneath the hood there is a fuse panel near the front on the passengers side. When I was doing a check on all fuses and such, I noticed that one of the fuses was gone and the pieces that hold it in place were gone as well. The fuse was for something called PTC (it says this on the fuse cover). Here is a pic:

Should I be looking at replacing the fuse panel for this? and getting the proper fuse for this?
Too many questions in one thread?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions or help.
