It's used in the sedans for the boot realease button and and the fuel door release button. But since ute's don't have either (manual fuel door), it is just replaced with that blank panel.
On my ute, it has the driving light switch in it, cause there was no way i drilling through the dash
Here's a pic of HLC's sedan that i found

Another question. When you pop your boot open on the Falcons and Fairmonts, does it open by itself or do you have to lift it?

There is a vent under the lining of the left side of the boot and the flap in that can make a flapping noise (funny that!) when the boot is closed. Also this may happen when a rear door is closed.

Yeah I get that noise all the time. Wouldn't call it a rattle though.

No, it doesn't lift itself. Mine's covered in sound deadening also, and didn't lift itself before that either.

Apparently, according to someone selling them on eBay, the Ghia badge rotates to reveal a keyhole on Fairlanes, but mine doesn't.

The EL i'd assume you mean... its weird that it has a blanking plug, as they have a fuel release and boot release buttons from factory :P
