Also, the switch currently in my car is a two-position switch. Does anyone have a three-position switch laying about they want to part with?

Thinking of using that 3rd-leg to control the backup light, as with a cane shift, a transmission-mounted switch is not an option, and I want to avoid another switch under dash.


The automatic operation for backup lights is nice but John is probably right about the dash switch being easier.

If you are not set on having a toggle switch perhaps you could get a rotary switch and mount it under the dash edge in its place just as they did with the heater and defroster switches. If you got a 4 position rotary you could keep all the functions of the original toggle switch, off, dash, map and have the 4th position for the backup lights. You could even use a 3 position without an off and have center for dash with a right or left twist for map or backup. Just need to make sure the switch you get can carry enough current -- maybe around 5 amps to be safe.

Depending on the switch you used you could probably find a knob at Lavine to fit and match the heater and defroster knobs.
