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.

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!
