you guys are great and thanks for your help

I'm gonna breadboard it this week and see if it is switching correctly

I'll post an update once I have a chance to test it

I put everything back to stock for now and at least the top still works correctly

At least I now have a switched 12v line in the upper console. I connected it from the unused phone connector in the bottom of the console

thanks again
