Default Dash Question

On my 99 ranger, to the right of the radio there is a small vent on the dash, what does this do. Because even the new rangers have it, and i see no point for it.

It blows air on the windows to keep the view of the side mirrors from fogging

yeah, it was for the interior temp sensor for the explorer electronic climate control. or in other words, absolutely nothing on a ranger. they redid the dash in 06 or so and got rid of it.
