    Oh I gotcha, I’d assume they will both work since I’m almost positive the hole dimensions are the same (carling & long Toyota...not the short ones). But if it’s anything like on my truck in the factory locations a little help with a file made sure the fit was perfect.

    Might be able to swap in a NC switch to the pcb inside the switch housing. What you are calling a switch is really a case with an activating button that encloses a printed circuit board that has the actual switch soldered to it.

    You could use a relay. Commodity automotive relays have a contact for relaxed open or relaxed closed. It toggles the other way when energized.

    Yes, a 5-pin relay would be easiest. The switch can either close or open the circuit depending on whether you use pin 87 or 87A.

    Been waiting for the return of the 6 switch panel. I signed up for email notification, but never got anything. Luck was on your side.

    I've been checking as well, but always seems to be at the wrong time. Round 3 of waiting begins.

    I didn't get a notification they were restocked. First time I had checked in couple of weeks and got lucky enough to place order.
