Ram Promaster City Heated Seats Switch Replacement

Would you pay $80 (each) for replacement heated seat warmer switches or coble up some replacement to use up parts you had laying around?  Exactly, me too!  And that's exactly what I did.  I had some left over safety switches (here) so I designed a clip in-place switch holder and a clip-on cable harness connector.  Throw in a few connectors, some wire and ta-da!  So far (knock on wood) so good.  

I clipped 20mm pieces of a large paperclip as the connector pins, soldered some wire and then connected the wire to the switch poles.  I threw on some shrink tubing at the connector side and some wrapped tape on the switch end.  On the switch harness, the two outer wires are for the switch heat.  The two inner pints are for the power LED (not used in this instance).  The factory switches pull power from the 12v when the switch is 'ON' to show that the seat heaters are on.  Again, not used in this instance.  Here, the big red safety covers in the UP-position work just fine as "Hey, this thing is ON!".

Once clipped in place, I would need to unscrew the top switch nut, drop the switch down into the hole a bit (holding onto the tip of the switch arm) and then the bracket can easily be removed.  With the switch full secured, the clip sides are right up against the switch which makes it darn near impossible to otherwise remove the plate.

I printed everything in PLA. Infill really wasn't an issue so I left it at default 15%, 3 perimeters and .2 layer.  Went through a handful or prototypes until everything fit together.

Standard caveat, this can cause electrical issues.  Do not do this if you're unsure.  Safety first!  Be safe, buy the factory replacements.
