What do they Do?
1- Is for the auxiliary fan (to activate when crawling w/o A/C on)
2- Rear LED flood light
3- Turns rear cargo light off when hatch is open (conserves battery and doesn't attract bugs!!!)
4- Open
The switch you see below the ARB switches is for the Hella lights the one beside it which I don't think you can see is the old switch for the Aux fan. those switches are hard to reach. Got to find a new toy for that 4th open switch. Got any ideas?

Wait, your lights turn on when you open the hatch? Should mine do that? I always thought they should...

Same for me, mine only comes on when the driver doors open... That is when the driver door stays open due to the shot brackets that don't hold the door open.

OK played with mine and it looks like I should be able to push it but it doesn't move... Is it the entire thing that pushes in or just the front or back?

I just did this modification. I have to say it was a painful process. I tried every glue I could think of to get the pieces together, to no avail. I tried the soldering iron method and it didn't work either. Any amount of pressure would break the connections. Finally found this stuff from loctite that is a two part system. Only thing I could find that works on PP & PE. even with spending $20+ on glue that didn't work, still a lot cheaper than the 4 position police switch panel. I'm glad I found this post. Thanks OP for the idea to do something different!
