Repurpose AVS/RAHC switches?

[giovanni]

Has anyone figured out something clever to do with the switches after installing a lift? The height control I assume is a momentary connection at High and Low and open in Normal. And the ride/shock control is 3 position continuous?

Just in case my question isn’t clear - after installing the lift and disabling the functions, the switches are still there unless you replace that plate with the non AVS/RAHC version. I’d rather find something to use those switches to control than delete them.

I don't have RAHC but am also looking for something similar because I don't like the giant blanks on mine. I thought about drilling them out and adding USB ports. I'm not sure if the circuit board runs underneath the blanks or if it's just empty plastic though.

A CL member did this on post #907.

Internally roughly looks like this. This is an 080 which is the AVS/RAHC without DAC.

This was from another CL member before the 090 was known.

Interesting. I kinda like the dual battery monitor/control idea.

Battery meter is a fantastic idea.

Great info 22Eyunu35VO! I too have been playing with the idea of what to do with those two switch blocks.
I may even add more USB ports there.

Here's what I needed up doing with my blanks

That's a great idea! Hmmm

Hi there, has a anyone found a way to mount a standard Toyota switch there? Or even a source for the blank plates that gx460 without AHC have? (I would like to put a kids on/off with where my ride control switch is...)
