This is for my other vehicle (2002 PT Cruiser). I had the same set of gauges on my cavy but never got around to bypassing the switch.
Anyways ... These are the ebay gauges & they come with an on/off switch. The switch is totally annoying and tacky. The only way right now to get the gauges to turn on is too use the switch, but shut down when the light are turned off.
I am hoping someone with some electrical experience can help me and others with this problem.
Here a couple (fuzzy ... damn camera) pics.

Power Wire / Ground Wire / Switch
Shot of the plug-in on the switch
If anyone has any ideas how I can eliminate that switch please let us know. There has to be a way. I was thinking of just cutting the end off that goes to the switch and wiring it up the same as the + and - wires are?
Thanks everyone!
cut the wires and butt connect them together. then connect your normal + wire to the light swictch if you want them to come one with the lights
I dont think thats right
That switch looks like its a momentary switch so it would give a pulse to the module thingy and then they would turn on. I may be wrong but i'm thinkin thats what it is.
If that is indeed right then there is a circuit with a relay that will give a pulse to something when it sees voltage.
I can get this for you after I get off work.
on a side note --- Wojo: go check out my post on my glovebox

Wizkidrummer: That'd be awesome! Thanks
can we see a close up of the switch..that will tell
I wouldn't connect the 2 prongs together. THat's how I blew my set for my firebird. Sounds like a good idea from Wizkid up there.
They make a different controller for it to come on with the lights, instead of the button. I think i got mine for 15 shipped.
