There is that extra button slot next to the side mirror and traction control buttons. How can i open that slot up and put something in it so it looks good and stays in place? I looked through the garage and did not find anything to help me.. Thanks!!!!!!!

EDIT: I want to add something like this... http://www.radioshack.com/product/in...ductId=3097457 To power a few things all at once.

I've often thought that something belonged in that very same space.

I imagine that if you have (or get access to) the service manual, you can get the disassembly instructions to properly access that portion of the dash.

At that point, it's up to you and your good taste to select the proper looking switch (and one that will handle the power requirements of the item(s) you wish to control with it). Be careful powering multiple items, as a switch that gets too hot (overloaded) can deform or melt the plastic it will be mounted in.

if you look at the switch that you linked to, it looks like the mounting mechanism is simply a threaded collar that locks the switch in place from behind. From what I can tell, the switch you linked to would have that entire rectangular plastic switch housing above the point where you mount it.

If you have doubts about how well the switch will match with the interior, you can find thousands of different switch types at different online dealers. Someone here can likely receommend a reputable one.

Yeah, I would not put it in there if it was serious work to get the wiring behind there. I would just put it somewhere convenient for me that takes a lot less work. Just curious how I would go about doing it.

Its not really that hard to get to that slot and there is ample space behing there to run wiring for your devices. I have a 2005 TL with the accord fog mod and also have independant stock fogs so i have two switches in that slot turned horizontally instead of placed vertically. I have enough wiring running back there and there is ample space back there for them to rest. TO remove the dash is very easy, all you have to do is remove the plate under the dash then pull on the dash easily where the tabs are located and the bottom panel where the switch is will fall out then its easy to pop out the switch cap and modifiy for your switch.

This switch was about 3 bucks on ebay or parts express .com.

I used a bur bit on a dremmel. There is a lot of trimming on the back side.

Powerflow is definitely showing you the proper place to put the switch. But the one you found on Heel/Toe looks more OEM. But Powerflow's is a lot cheaper, obviously. I don't know what Triod's suggestion costs, but it's possibly your best bet! Your choice.....

what did u search for on this site to find that? And how many things do u have hooked up to it. Will it be able to handle 3 different things hooked up to that one switch. ty

You need a multi purpose switch if you plan to run more than 1 thing on there. They sell those at radio shack.

I'd go this route..

Make your own custom one!

Yeah, I would be hooking up multiple things to one switch.... so I cant use the one that fits, I am going to have to go to radio shack and get a multi purpose one and find a place to put it lol. Any multi work? or do i have to buy one that has a set amount for the amount of things I want to use?

Riu

ok so hook up multiple things to one switch I will need a relay. Anyone have a link to where I can buy one of these for a low price. I dont even know what to look up to find these. i am going to look now but if anyone knows of a good one link me to it. Thanks.

Riu
