whats behind the DSC switch??

[matt_croft]

hi all, i've got an '03 cooper and it has all the toggle switches apart from the DSC switch, does anyone know whats behind it? only asking as i would quite like to add a switch / replace with a full pannel and wire something into the slot. maybe my driving lamps or the on board computer switch, something along those lines.

any ideas?

I think you will find the switches are all on one board.

In order to have a full set of switches you need a new switch cluster bit, I'm not sure if you will be able to use the switch for another function.

Why would you wire your driving lamps into there?

Don't they come on with your main beam?

great pictures there GBMINI, looks like it'll take more elecetrical knowlege than i have to wire soemthing else into the switch.... but what happens if i add the DSC switch / get one from a breakers yard? is it possible to activate the DSC in someway?

they do but they also come on when i flash other drivers through which i think is great but have had a few confused / blinded / dazzled looks so i wandered if i could wire into the light relay so that the switch activates the driving lights coming on with main beam or not

dsc is a seperate module connected to the braking system. in my bulkhead i have a brake master cylinder on the drivers side and a dsc module on the passenger side of the bulkhead.
