Dash switch wiring

I did the garage door mod a while ago...used a targa top switch and wired it to the garage door remote. Easy mod and nice not to have the opener on the visor, etc. But it does not light up with the other switches when the lights are on and it's dark. I think I saw a thread that had the terminals on the switch labeled so I could hard wire the light function...but I couldn't find it with several searches. Anybody have this info or know where I can find it? Thanks

I pulled the light power from the wiper delay ****. I forget the wire color but if I remember it was obvious when looking at the back of the switch.

Thanks...I remember there are something like six terminals on the back of the switch...my question is which terminals are for the light function?

If you pull the horseshoe with all the switches. Look at the wires coming from the wiper delay and then look at one of the switches on the other side. ie like lock switch. It is the same color wire and then all you need is ground.

I believe the wires were brown and blue w/ red stripe.

Question

Doea anyone know if any of the switches are constant closed once depressed? From what I can tell they only stay closed circuit if the buttons are held down, otherwise they just flow current for the amount of time you have the button depressed. This is fine for garage door but won't work for my V1 integration to eliminate the cig lighter adaptor. Switches shown in attachment. Help please. Thanks.

I played around with the switches a while ago. Every one I looked at had a relay (even the seat heaters) so I think all the switches in the TT are momentary on.
