use your power button for something again ...
to anyone who has an aftermarket stereo ... are you tired of not being able to use your OEM power button for anything??
I started to prep my car for the JDM rear windshield and I decided to rewire my OEM stereo power button to turn on the rear windshield wiper. I came to find out that the OEM power button is a momentary switch, which means that it will send power as long as you have it pressed down, but I needed a true ON/OFF switch ... so this is how I did it ...
first thing was to remove the switch from the car
then I pretty much took it all apart ... I only messed with the stereo ****
ok now that all that is apart ... I got a push button switch from RadioShack ... cost $2.99
and I took off the F&F red button ...

I used the GREEN and ORANGE wires to run from an ACC signal to the wiper
and then after some soldering ... I just put everything back together
and there ... now my OEM power button serves another purpose!

it was hardly any effort ... the hardest part was figuring out it was a momentary switch, after that it was easy
hell the write up took longer!

GSpec: if you wanted to use it as a momentary switch just tap into the GREEN and ORANGE wires
