Spaceman, I will find those wires and try the parallel short method. I think this is best for a few reasons. First, if your wiring/switch fail, it will still run normally, assuming the failure is not a short to ground/12v or across the switch. Wiring as you describe would rely on your wiring job to carry the signal. Also this adds wiring to the signal path that may or may not be properly shielded. The parallel short method I desribed isn't used at all for the signal path. It just shorts across it, causing a constant short as opposed to a constant open. And it can be installed without cutting wires if you use one of those crimp on connectors which penetrates the insulation to contact the wire without cutting it.
