Default Another Wiring Schematic Question! *4wd switch for Nitrous*

I have a 2wd, but I bought the 4wd selector switch like out of a Z71 (with the 4 push buttons) to try and use as my nitrous switch panel. The 4wd switch fits perfectly and is easy to put in....its just getting the wiring right that is killing me!!!

I need 3 of the buttons to be 2-way on/off switches (system engage, bottle heater, and gauge lights).
I need the third button to be momentary (purge) if possible.

I am still trying to work on this but with no luck so far.

Anyone have any ideas?????


On the back of the switch, there is a connection with 4 prongs, and another connection with 8 prongs. I bought the connectors that push on them for ease of wiring also (its like the wiring harnes with open ends).
The prongs are labeled: a b c d e f g h & a b c d I think.



When I finally get it, I may get a web page together with pictures, GM Part #'s, and instructions in case anyone else wants to go for it as well. I like the idea because it keeps everything looking factory. Its gonna be a hard project, but worth it IMO!

I have something similar with the Fog Lights being the "Go Baby" button and the air bag de-activation (key controled) being the arming.

I have the full throttle switch, or else I probably would have went with something like that with the fog light switch.

Does anyone know anything about that 4wd switch and what prongs do what?

I woul get a voltmeter ..

2 wires .. maybe black and brown or grey would be for the lights. It should read 0 ohms on a volt meter. Black will most likely be the ground. You will have 2 wires for each button, and 2 more wires for each of the selector lights. I would try and bust the thing open and look at it the easy way since you are going to have to replace some switches in there for the on/off switches.

I don't think its gonna work.
In the trash it goes soon.

Oxidizer has kinda the setup I'm looking for, but his switch is a little different than the one I got from Chevrolet.
I've emailed him a few times, but never a response. He must have just wanted to keep it a secret, doesn't have time for helping out a stranger, or never checks his email....oh well.

Thanks for the input I've gotten so far,
-Brandon
