Rear defroster

alright, went to a junkyard monday, so I got a bunch of parts to hook up the rear defroster section on the hatch.

I havethe button, harness, and wires for the rear of the hatch. I know where everything goes except where the wires go FROM the button..

now, my dad took off the wires dealing with the front, and he said there seemed to be some sort of junction box, or something (which also had wires going to it, from the power seats).

my question would be then, how does this thing actually come together? What does the box do? Does the button itself act as the relay in some way, and the junction box is just there as a quick connect thing?

From: out of my mind; be back in 5 minutes....
Car: 1989 Firebird Formula
Engine: Internal Combustion
Transmission: Completed
Axle/Gears: ones that turn.
The distribution block snaps into place behind the driver side kick panel, near where the opening is to route the wires for the power windows into the door...it is "just there as a quick connect thing". The 'button' has the relay and timer built into it (for the Camaro only - the Firebird uses a relay that is seperate form the switch).

Should have; I found a pic of one on eBay so you'll know what you're looking for.
