Only if it costs more to pull the fuse, otherwise they are a bargain at half
the price.

I pulled my door switch (just the driver side) and cut the wire for the
light/key buzzer and wired it to a 3 way switch on my dash. that way I can
turn it on and it will beep any time my Jeep is off and the keys are in the
ignition or the lights are on. or I can turn it completly off (good for the
trail when my keys are always in the Jeep and I am not) or set it to be
activated like normal with the door switch.

Can anyone explain how those silly springs work? The pictures I see
shows them on the extended plunger (door open, I guess?) and the
narative text says push them on, give them a twist and you're good to
go.

That leads me to believe I can disable the door switch with a twist,
or a push and a twist, which I could do with my existing (and
effectivly free) pair of MK-1 pliers.

I don't think I understand what they are supposed to do...

I like the idea of the bypass switch posted elsewhere in this thread.

The last loop of the spring cuts across the diameter of the spring circle.
This, in effect, is like a cap on the end of the assembly. When you push it
on it actually does depress the push button and hold it in the depressed
position when the spring is clamped on to the push button housing. Now that
I am trying to write how it works I find that it is really hard to explain.
Hope that is clear enough.
