[QUOTE="kevinbakon, post: 955519, member: 66834"] I checked into this "dummy button" a while back . . . When I removed the console I saw the wiring harness & wondered if I could get the factory button from Ford. Then reconfigure it for a multi-purpose aux switch while maintaining an OEM look . . . I contacted Ford & they weren't able to tell me on a Sport Trac, but when I inquired about the same button on the Explorer & Mountaineer, I was told the same as mentioned above by other members . . . I never ended up ordering one from Ford for the Explorer, but instead used a generic LED toggle from the local auto parts store. I used the constant 12v wire from the harness and I believe the wire was green. (There are actually 2, but they are simply forked/split, further up the line.) [/QUOTE]
