WTH is a Dommy?

And this is not a trick question!

I'm looking for a switch to use for 87 Octane code activation of the ECUtune Stage1 kit. Looking at the right-hand side dash switches there is a blank next to the rear defogger switch I thought I might be able to use, with a factory switch. This is after deciding against placing an aftermarket switch inside the change pocket, since solid steel and wiring live behind it.

Went to subaruparts.com diagrams to find there's a "blank", and a "Dommy" switch that will fit there. Part #83003PA010 "Knob". Before anyone suggests using another rear defrost switch, I know I could do that, but this "Dommy" thing has me intrigued, and I'd like a different symbol on the switch to prevent any confusion. A factory switch, complete with dash illumination, and "on" indicator lamp would be ideal. Anyone familiar with this term, or useage of said "Dommy switch"???

who's the "dommy"???

Alan, I thought of that, but why then list a "cap", and different USA and Canadian listings?http://www.subaruparts.com/diag/?mod...category=830-A

And why would a "dummy" list for more $$ than a real switch?

Anyone else?

The Dummy switch doesn't cost more than a real switch.....you're comparing the Dummy with the Cap. The cap is the part of the switch you actually push....the part that says "security" or "cruise". A dummy is a blank cap w/ no picture or words on it. The switches you are looking at aren't available seperately...you can buy the caps, but to get any of the real, functioning switches you have to buy the whole assembly. The Canadian one is different because Canadian switch assemblies were slightly different. Next to their rear defrost is the heated seat switch.

The seat heater switch is installed where the coin holder goes.

You are correct. That's what I get for playing on the computer past my bedtime

Thanks again Earl, Dave and Alan. Think I'll try a small rocker down near the wiper Summer/Winter switch. The material is thin enough and easy access to that area in close proximity to the ECU and power.

Is there actually a working switch behind the blank beside the rear defog?

If not would it be possible to convert the left side cluster (with the extra switch) to fit on the right hand side?

No, and no (well......maybe. But what a pain in the ass that would be!)
