Yes, the one you're loking at is for the rear windows. Stops the kiddies (big and small!) playing with the windows :twisted:

The large one cuts the switches in the rear to stop the kids opening them and the other switches the lot off so none can be opened!

The large one on the right is a cicuit breaker to stop overload on the window circuit. it is just put there so it can easily be reset. The button on the left is to stop the kids playing with the rear windows.
