I'm not sure what they're called. They're used for hoods, doors, trunks, and the like. Basically a small stud that when pressed either breaks or makes the circuit...

I've looked at stores around here, but can't find any...

thanks...

 

Have you looked at radio shack. They have tons of switches.

 

I think this is what you are looking for.

Pin Switch

 

That's exactly it! Thanks...

Yes, I looked at Radio shack, but didn't see anything there. The RS here is kinda small, and not always stocked real good...

 

Hey closer -

What are you going to use the switches for ?

I might have something that will work better, depending on what you want to do...

 

A place that installs/sells auto car starters/alarms will have them.

 

I'm putting lights in the bed (under toneau), and I plan on putting two switchings a rocker and a pin switch as a safety precation to make sure the lights can't come on if the top is down...

 

I believe you'll want NORMALLY OPEN switches rather than NORMALLY CLOSED then...

Radio Shack does sell some (however, they might not be exactly what you want) as I purchased a couple there when I did my auto-light in my console.

 

No actually normally closed. I want the circuit closed (complete) when the lid is up, which is the "normal" position for the switch...

 

I used a normally closed switch on Skagel's lid. Worked like a charm.

Get a Switch like the one used under the hood. When it is up it is on and when it is down it is off. No drilling, no fuss, no muss.
