I have. But the guy modified the plate for a NOS arming switch. Other than that i have only ever seen the one switch.

The Firebird had one with the convertible switch and traction control switch there. It might fit a Camaro.

do u have a pic of your dash? i want to see where the fog light switch is.

The color should be close enough that it will work. The Firebird dash is a very dark charcoal gray and the Camaro dash is black. The difference is not that much. You could always paint it to match.

I don't have a picture but the Firebird fog light switch is a small rocker switch mounted right below the headlight switch on the left side of the dash.

If you're just looking for a spot to put an additional switch so that it looks factory installed, there is a switch blank under the Camaro logo next to the fog light switch. It is the same size as the ASR or fog light switch.

well i need to do 2 things. one is relocate my asr and fog light switches so that i can put a scan master where they are. i have the camaro ss dash plaque that i wont want to loose. second i have a qtp cutout and slp fan switch that i would like to get factoru switches for. but i dont think any of them will work for the fan switch.

You could hook up a factory convertible top switch through a latching relay for the fan. It could be wired as push up for on and down for off even though it's a momentary switch.

This might easier.

this is just like the factory one but has three big switches and looks kinda factory. i am gonna get one for my electric cutout, and possibly Nitrous if I decide to get some.

youve caught my attention........how would i go about doing this? any online write ups?

OK, when you get a convertible top switch you will find that it has 7 or 8 pins on the back (there are 8 positions but only 7 of them are used). Looking at the back of the switch with the connector's locking tab at the top you will have two rows of 4 pin positions. They are labeled A through H in a clockwise direction starting at the bottom right (i.e. A-D right-to-left across the bottom row and E-H left-to-right across the top row).

Connect the pins as follows:
A - terminal 86 of your relay
B - dash light power (for switch illumination)
C - ground (for switch illumination)
D - ground
E - 12V+ (ignition controlled)
F - terminal 85 of the relay
G - (doesn't exist)
H - not used

Modify a standard 30-amp relay by soldering a 1 or 2 amp diode between terminals 87 and 85 of the relay. The cathode side (the end with the stripe) connects to terminal 85. This makes the relay "latch" when a momentary positive pulse is applied to terminal 85.

Connect relay terminal 30 to a fused 12V power source. Connect your accessory to terminal 87 (in addition to the diode you soldered there).

Now, when you press the switch up, a momentary power feed is connected to terminal 85 of the relay causing it to trip. Power then flows from terminal 30 through the relay and out terminal 87 to your accessory. A small portion also flows through the diode to terminal 85 in order to keep the relay "latched".

When you press the switch down, the ground for the relay coil is interrupted causing the relay to release and turn off the power to your accessory.

damn u have thought this thru. ok ive got one for u. will it work with my pre existing slp fan switch? it has a high and low setting.

You can still put the original High/Lo switch inline between the relay terminal 87 and the fans. The convertible switch would control on and off while the original switch controlled the speed. I know that might not be the solution you were looking for but there really isn't any way to make a convertible top switch control two speeds. Even if you wired it so that pushing up was high speed and down was low speed there would be no way to turn the fans off.

why dont u just come down to fort myers and wire this for me have u done this before? maybe something u would be interested in doing again? if so pm me as i think i got lost half way down the page. im gonna print it out though to take my time and read it good later.

I probably won't get down that way until April or May. However, once you have the switch in hand you'll be able to just label the pins and then connect the wires. It sounds more complicated when it's written out than it is once you have the pieces in front of you. If you really need assistance then maybe you can send me the switch and relay and I'll wire them up so you'll just be left with power and ground connections to make.

The switches and plates should be available in grey and black at the very least. There may be a 3rd color, but I'm not sure.

Here are mine that I installed in a 94 camaro. Do you like them?
