OK, sorry for the crappy pic...



It is shown in the on position (with the truck off so the LED isn't lit.) When the truck is running and I flip it forward to that position, the green light comes on and it starts recording to the internal WBC memory.

The switch I got came from Advance Auto. You can get the same one with other colored lights. I got the CALTERM model number 40602 L.E.D. Rocker Switch. It's a 25A/12V DC SPST switch.

Radio Shack didn't have what I wanted...a low profile 12V lighted SPST, and neither did AutoZone.

If you don't have an Advance Auto around...I found this link on line:

http://doityourself.com/store/automotiveswitches.htm

It's the 4th one down on the left hand column.

If you read my entire post............you'll see sensors can be bought for as little as $30.00. It is a VW OEM part, and if you have the correct p/n you can find them at a dealer.

If I'm not mistaken, the plug attached to the wiring on the sensor is different.

My buddy has an LM1 wideband, and the sensor is exactly the same as what comes with the WBC, but they won't interchange due to the different connector attached to them. I suppose you could cut off the WBC connector and re-attach it to a new sensor, but it wouldn't be as neat as a plug-n-play one.
