So I'm planning some modifications for my project Jeep.
I'm looking at using one of the factory switch holes for a custom function. Short version is I want a toggle switch that will let me force first or second gear when I shift down to 1-2, or to leave it in "factory mode" where it shifts itself. I have the wiring figured out with a couple of relays. I just need a switch. An aftermarket switch will work but if I can find one that looks factory, it would be cooler.
The switch needs to be a single pole double throw switch with on-off-on positions. It would work similarly to the XJ rear wiper/washer switch except that the wash position on the XJ switch is a momentary switch (i.e. it goes back to off when you take your finger off it). What I want is to be able to set the switch up, down, or middle and it stays there until I switch it again.
Was there ever an application that used an on-off-on switch that wasn't a momentary switch? If so, where would I find one?
