purge button - Honda Prelude Forum

MNludeDVR · 08-20-2003, 02:42 AM

anyone know if there is a button that looks like the emergency flashers one that could be used as a purge? i wanted to mount it next to my emergency flasher one and put a different label on it...but it's a push on, push off button. does honda have one that will fit the stock location next to it on my 94 console?

i want it to look as close to stock as possible

Any button/switch will work. You could prolly buy an actual hazard switch from your local honda dealership and use it. Autozone has a lot of switches and buttons also... you might want to check them out, even though they're turning into a rice store.

^ actually, now that they are a rice store, their selection of switches and buttons has greatly improved.

MNludeDVR, you could probably get a factory hazard switch and pop it open to remove the catch that keeps it from being a momentary button.

oh, so there is just a catch that allows it to be a push on, push off switch? i was at hondaautomotiveparts.com and saw that the hazard switch is 45 bucks! anyone know if that same size switch came in any other common car i'd find at a junkyard? the yards around here don't have any 4th gens in them

you should be a little more open minded im sure honda didnt use just that one flasher in just the prelude, im sure there is at least one other year with the same flasher.

I'd just mount the normal purge button in some place that is not noticeable. I have it in my coin tray on my 5th gen and it has never been seen by anybody unless I show them.
