Having issues with both the floor dimmer switch, and the steering column hazard switch.

Been thinking on putting both on a toggle switch. Did not know if someone else has attempted this or not?

Basically I know the floor switch is a 3-wire set up, so the idea on putting a toggle switch should work.

Anyone who has done it, if you could enlighten me, Thanks in advance.

Way Easier to just replace the switches with what is already there

The hazard switch is about $25 and isn't hard to replace
Although you do have to pull the steering wheel

Dimmer switch is just two screws

I haven't ever done that.  I usually just fix what is broken.
