Thanks to everyone for the information. I am building a wire harness for the lights. I am using Anchor brand wire because it is tinned and will not corrode also I am running it in a heat shrink shield to protect from any wear and because under the consol is a harsh environment. Everything will be soldered and heat shrunk all the way to the switch. The little micro switches came from Radio Shack SPST Momentary 275-1571 that is normally open. So when the door is closed the light is off hopefully. Just to the left of the door space is a small area about 3/8 inch wide it will be a reach to get the switch in but a pair if hemostats or some thing like that will work. The switch which is actually a button only moves about a 1/16th of an inch to turn it off and the button will be sticking out about 3/16th of an inch. If I have to make any adjustment to make the switch turn off it will have to be in the door by removing a little plastic. I am going to make a measurement by using a small ball of wax actually ZOGS SEX WAX haha! To close the door on and squish it down and make the measurement. Clay would work or window putty what ever. That will be the end of the dark hole and I will then have some power to the consol front and rear hopefully constant power so the key does not have to be on. The power outlet is not power on unless the key is on. If you have found this wire let me know please. I will go to the fuse box if need be in fact if they have a spare spot I would like to do that as long as it is always hot. I have not done anything but picked up the switches. So just remember the switch like it is in the package would be power on, when you press it is power off. I only said that because the guy at Radio Scrap said I needed the other way around then I explained again and he gave me back the switch I had originally picked out. Helpful guy but he got confused then with no problem at all I confused myself somehow when I said normally on or closed. So is it normally open that is on or normally closed that is on. This could be another thread.
