Default Looking for a #$*&@ rocker switch

I bought a Jimmy-Jam ashtray panel for my controls. During the install I realized I need a 3 way rocker switch (On-Off-On) for my NX bottle opener. I've searched this forum for answers, but came up short, other than a PM I sent a guy the other day after looking at pictures of his setup on this forum...he hasn't responded. I've searched Radio Shack, Lowes, and Home Depot. Finally went to Napa and ordered a switch out of a catalog. It came in yesterday, and is almost to big for the panel, plus it doesn't flows well with the rest of the switches. I'v searched google, and that is a headace from hell.....shipping is three times the amount of the switch, plus I might get in the same issue as I've had with Napa. So, could someone please throw something out there? I'd rather have a round switch that will fit into the same hole in the panel, but anything withina reasonable size will do.

For the bottle opener you need a mon on off mon on.. It a double pole double throw.. I have not seen that style of switch made small enough to fit the JJ panels..
We have them in a silver toggle looking unit,,,

The NX SPEED00025 remote bottle opener control module that is used by the Maximizer-II to drive the opener will let you use the switches in the panel. This box has 2 orange input wires that will open the bottle if one is grounded and the other is switched to 12 volts and you don't need a momentary switch because it does the timing. Switch ON, bottle opens ... switch OFF, bottle closes.

I'm surprised NXRicky didn't suggest that... I've seen him talk about it before

Thanks for all of the replys. How much does the control module cost?

Hey - shoot me an email. I am pretty sure we can get you the type rocker switch you need. We had a few around her but until Jimmy gets home, I don't know where they would be LOL

Thanks!
