I'm looking to find a switch for some lights I've installed, and would prefer to use a toyota switch that'll fit in the blank spots i the dash. It needs to be a switch designed with relay in mind, don't know the exact name for it (DPT switch maybe?), but basically is set up for three wires, a positive wire to power the switch, then another positive and ground for the relay itself (I think that's how its set up). Anyways, the electric-minded folk should know what I mean. Anybody got the part numbers for such a switch.

 

I think this might be what you are looking for:

Perfect! I completly forgot to look in the tech section, you'd think after >1000 posts I wouldn't pull a newbie mistake.

Thanks!

 

Chalk one up for the Wabbit!

Glad I could help!

Back in the days when I was on the staff of 4x4Wire, Phil wrote this article.

I seriously doubt they will ever get any good 4Runner articles again.

 

Steve,

Thanks for the reference- BTW- parts arrived today, thanks again!

Who is Phil anyways? I know he passed away, but never got the full story.
