Default TDS-1 mode switch

eBay find:

This will certainly be much easier to install than the stalk-mounted trip computer switch from the '92s.

I'm not sure exactly what car this is from.

Default doh!

I just realized I don't have any room left in my switch panel.

Which switch should go?
- ABS off
- V1/Lidatek power (w/ status LED for lidatek)
- After-run pump override

Passenger seat heater would be my first choice, but my wife would be pissed.

The V1/Lidatek is the least useful, though it is cool:

I could mount the Lidatek status LED in the instrument cluster somewhere. Then the only problem is turning everything off in the event of a LEO encounter.

Maybe I could mount the ABS off switch in the coin tray by the diff lock switch...

Default What about getting the Euro mirror switch...

I'm not sure about this, but I thought the Euro mirror switch had two extra buttons on the bottom for power folding in the mirrors. If that's the case, you could wire up the ABS off switch to that.

Otherwise, maybe do a stealth radio shack switch in one of the mini blanks next to the seat heaters.

Default I like the mirror switch idea... very stealthy.

The other extra button can be for the ejection seat

Default Hmm, having the ABS off switch relocated to trans tunnel consol seems logical to me.

Since you have the "ABS OFF" light in your instrument cluster, it's not neccesary to have the button in your line of sight if you know where it is.
