Eliminate Key Switch?

Doc · 05-16-2013, 07:48 PM

Does anyone have a good way to eliminate the key switch on a '97 DS? I recently installed a new dash console-the one with 4 drink holders in it- and I don't like the way the key fits in it. I removed the key switch, tucked it aside and reamed out the hole to fit the gas gauge (cannablised from a '97 Carryall). The gauge fits & works perfectly where the key used to be and frankly, looks like it should've been there in the first place. Anyway, I'd actually like to eliminate the kew entirely and maybe replace it with a rocker on/off switch? Is this do-able? For what its worth, there is NO security issue involved so that is a non-issue. I'm all ears to anyone with a suggestion!
