Our 08 Enclave has that as well. However, does it make sense to you that the heated washer fluid button is on a panel of buttons/knobs that control lighting? Always struck me as an odd choice.
Well, not as funny as my old 72 GTO, where the wiper and washer control is a switch on the dash, next to the lights....so you could say, the heated washer control is kind of a "retro" location. I guess as long as they don't start putting the headlight dimmer switch back on the floor, like in the 70's, we're OK. (always thought that was the weirdest place for the dimmer switch....but then again, 1987 was when I got my driver's license, and all the cars since then had the headlight dimmer on the turnsignal stalk). But back to the heated washer button, I think that's the only place that makes sense....because they wanted a place that's different from the regular washer button, so they wouldn't get confused. When you want the heated fluid, it's a special place to push for that.
But, I would say the dome light override switch is in a logical place.....just funny that there's been confusion about where to push on the button. (there is definitely divisions around it, so it's separate from the main dash, but for some reason people think you don't push on that, but rather push on the dash dimmer switch instead). Perhaps if they had two round buttons, one on top for the dome, and one on the bottom for the washer fluid, that would be easier understood.
I don't know what a "proper" button looks like, but this one is at least labeled, that's good enough for me. pretty self explainatory. However, I have to point out something....on my Enclave I have heated washer fluid, which is a button on the lower portion of that switch, where on this picture shows just the "swoop", so since mine has a button on the bottom, which I was shown what it was by my salesperson, I probably had easier of a time understanding that the top portion was a button too.
