Just wondering if anyone has moved or can comment on moving switches from their factory location to one of the blank spots not utilised.
I have a 2005 VX.
1. I'd like to move the DAC switch from next to the 4x4 Stubby lever to under the ashtray, near the power outlets.
2. Also I 'd like to move the rear aircon on/off from the back face of the centre console to the same location near the power outlets/ashtray.
Reasoning? 1. I'd like to create a storage area next to the 4x4 lever (phone/wallet) 2. The kids kick the on/off switch of the rear air con to turn it off as they please, the main culprit is 4 years old, so air con control still belongs to my dictatorship for a few more years.
I'm hoping both of these switches are supplied from the front dash area and that I'll just be able to peel the loom out of the console and move the switches. Though i have seen quite a few cables running under the passenger seat, so unsure if these are involved in this run.
So at a guess I'm going to be faced with either finding space to tuck away excess wire, or extending the switch wires. If I have to extend them, anyone see any issues with just splicing and soldering?
thoughts/comments?
Cheers
