Blitz supercharger switch diagram

Actually simpler than that, Just a switch whose light is on when on and off when off (but it may actually be simpler to drive the switches light with the clutch activation voltage now that I think about it). I like the idea of just engaging at the low setting or off since I too have an automatic and have experienced the wierdness of it engaging mid shift or other odd times. As for the gauge panel, I've already massacred (sp) my drivers side glove box for 3 gauges. Water temp, Oil temp, and Tach. On that note, is there an easy way to remove the drivers side glovebox door? I'd replace it with the stealth panel if I could get the damn thing off and replaced.

I've tried removing the glovebox lid, and it pretty much requires removing the entire dashboard (to include non-reusable clips and A-pillar trim pieces). You can use an SPDT illuminated switch, but it's up to you to decide if you want an LED or an incandescent bulb. The difference is that the incandescent will require replacing a resistor in the control box with a jumper (wire) or driving the bulb with a transistor. If you can find one with an LED that has about a 2V forward voltage drop, you can just wire the LED terminals to the switch LED instead. Make sure you check the polarity of it first.

*edit*

Now that I think of it, I would have to look at the switch control box more closely to see exactly how the LED is driven. If it's driven via a transistor, I need to check the current rating of it to ensure that the incandescent bulb won't fry it by drawing too much current.

There are two screws and two clips that mount the driver's side glove box, so you do have to pull the dash top to remove it.
