The buttons also came with a solderless connection board as you may recall from previous posts. The coloured buttons are from Jupiter Electronics and came with a small overlay which I was originally going to see if I could use but as it turns out it was just getting in the way of my custom switches overlay I had made out of the Lexan plastic so it hot scrapped. With my lower console overlay finally primed and painted and most of the buttons installed it's getting very near time to start thinking about the wiring job. I have a lot of great people on the Face Book Knight Rider groups to thanks for all of their help in this.
So I can't stress the importance of working out good wiring diagrams first and even cross referencing those diagrams with other people in the Knight Rider community who have wired up these types of switches before. These are specialty switches that are a little hard to come by and you REALLY don't need to be blowing them with experimentation's that you are not sure about. Better to have it all worked out in my wiring diagrams first to make sure the switches are going to be wired correctly than just start messing around with wires and potentially hook up the switches wrong. So the wiring them to relays is a little more complicated. These three position white switches are a little more complex as they can turn on two devices (one at a time).
The 10 coloured buttons mounted into the solder-less connection board by Jupiter Electronics are pretty simple and may only need a little customization depending on how you want the bulb to light when switch is on or off or if you want the bulb lighted all the time. In getting my lower console ready for wiring up to Molex connectors it is important to make sure your switches are wired correctly.
