other uses for defroster switch....

hey ugys i need a few good suggestions on what i could wire the defroster switch to. see im gettin my windows tinted and im gonna have to take the defroster off. it doesnt matter to me that it has to come off b/c only 2 or 3 lines of it work anyway. so i've been thinking what could i wire to the switch. so any ideas are accepted.

thanks

Fuel pump kill switch maybe? If you have subs you could use it to turn the amp on and off if you want to have that option.

I'm not sure exactly what type of switch that is but if it's a simple switch you should be able to run the remote turn on wire from the deck to the switch, then from the switch to the amp. Only thing is you would have to hit that switch everytime you start your car or else your amp wouldn't turn on. Might not be a good use for it afterall.

Axle/Gears: ones that turn.
Don't forget that it runs on a timer and will automatically shut off after 8 or 10 minutes.

Or go old school. You could rig it to your reverse lights. When was the last time you called out someone with your reverses
