No. I modified it for a switch for my winch solenoid.

I also have the ghetto version. No power locks or windows, and only two buttons (Wranglers with the man pedal don't have hill descent assist, you just downshift!)
I ordered this but haven't had the time to install yet. Maybe this weekend. The volt meter should help when winching.

And I would've never guessed the clip was a trash bag holder!

Don't confuse it with the Hill Start Assist which is standard on all Wranglers.
When you build your Wrangler on the Jeep website, check the information for the 5 speed automatic option:
Hill Descent Control
Hill Descent Control[2] helps you maintain a safe vehicle speed while descending hills during off-roading. Using electronic brake control and the engine braking, it can sense terrain conditions and will automatically adjust to a slightly slower set speed than normal when the terrain is rough.
2 Hill Descent Control is only active when a vehicle is descending a hill and can sense condition of terrain. It will: Adjust to slightly slower set speed than normal when terrain is rough Override operations by applying brakes to slow the vehicle down below control speed Override operations by pressing the accelerator to increase speed Return the vehicle back to its original set speed when either the brake or accelerator is released Hill Descent Control is only intended for low-speed off-road driving: Above 30 mph, the system no longer functions Flashing "Hill Descent Control" indicator identifies that the brakes are getting too hot and vehicle should be stopped to allow brakes to cool

That's why manuals don't have the button on the dash.

Found a solution for now. I had ordered a part from Mopar that I thought would be what goes there, but it was too small...add a $3 PCV grommet from O'Reilly Auto, and voila!
Doesn't really serve a purpose, other than to cover up a gaping hole in the dash...that's ok. One of these days, I'll turn it into an actual 12v outlet.

My Base Sport has the little book thing there (and 2 more of them where the power window switches would be for the rear doors in the back of the console-I have crank windows). It makes a great place to hang my fuzzy dice a d not take up 2/3 of the windshield. And they go kinda crazy with no doors on!

I didn't pay much attention to any part #'s, or save the package. While at O'Reilly's, I looked at two that looked like my power outlet cap would fit in, and they let me take them out and test fit. One worked just as you see, just right. The power outlet cap was from Mopar.
