I took mine apart and replaced the switches with N/O momentary buttons from Radio Shack. Inside the piece is a flat board with mini mounted switches that the big buttons just press against. Basically just de-soldered those and re-soldered in 2 leads for each switch.

Might be a cool thing to ru through a Fusion Brain too, but I wanted control over my DIC with or without the PC on, so I opted for a modified switch panel.

Anxios to see the finished work, oh and the stories too!

Funny you should mention relocating the button panel. I cut a notch into the lower dash panel directly over the steering wheel and relocated mine there on my 96 Eldorado ESC-V. The OEM wiring is plenty long enough to reroute there and its actually more convenient. Its not complete yet, but when I'm done it should look OEM.
