i hope porthos doesn't mind me kinda hi-jacking the thread but as my switch arrived today i thought i'd get it soldered up and the plug added like i wanted it
the idea was to replace the existing plug with my own but i didnt want it loose so i flattened the pins, soldered them up, connected the wires to the clips and plug and then glued the plug on.
firstly i cut the existing plastic clip off. i just used a serrated knife, the plastics thin and only took a sec
then cut a bit off the ends of the pins, soldered on the wiring then flattened them down
just to test using my trusty 9v battery (its a good tip when working on car electronics at home, normally a 9v battery is normally enough to do some testing with)
next i crimped the connectors on, and clipped them into the plug
then, i used the glue gun and filled the recesses between the pins to create a sealed unit, pushed the plug down and glued around it to hold it in place.
and finally heres a pic of the other end of the plug connected with the connectors i'll be attaching to the car when i get a chance.
its a good solid fit, i can shake it around by the plug and it doesnt move at all
think i'll put some leccie tape round it just to neaten it up a bit but yeh.. pretty happy with that
was a bit fiddly soldering the wiring and if i were to do it again id cut the connector wiring a bit shorter to get the plug tighter to the main connector
just got to clip the wires in the car to the other end of the plug and jobs a goodun
