2005 xc70 center buttons adding off-road lamps

Post by xc70newbie »

hello,

im adding off-road lamps to my 2005 xc70.

id like to use stock.volvo switches on the bottom row under the climate control, to make the switches look super clean as opposed to an aftermarket switch.

right now i have blanks in those slots.

i bought 2 stc switches on ebay.

im wondering if theres a way to reprogram those switches? i read they can go into rhe circuit board at any slot and the function is hard programmed into the switch.

id like to turn on a relay with them instead.

any ideas?

kindest regards

vtl

There's an aux light kit 30772053. Discontinued, but maybe you can find it somewhere.

hooray!! i think ive found an aux light switch for sale.

next...i need to find the 2 wire connector.

i have an extra parts department...i keep it in the shape of an xx70 to keep it organized.

im wondering if there's a component i could scavenge the 2.wire connector from?

or maybe what kind of connector is this 2.wire connector
