I don't know how much of a chore it would be to make this change, but here's my idea: the light switches on the door of my Volvo have an interesting option. You can push them in by hand, twisting slightly, and they will lock into place. Pushing on them, either by hand, or by closing the door, will unlock them. They lock into the "off" position, so you can work on the car without running down your batteries. Walt, your comment about replacing "the switch on the door post with a small hand operated switch to save the battery" is what made me think about this. Has anyone ever looked at doing something like this for the D? For those of you working on possible replacement switches, how about adding this type of feature?
