Abstract
A toggle switch system for a vehicle control panel includes a first electrical switch, a toggle body, and a rocker arm. The first electrical switch is configured to activate a first vehicle function. The toggle body has a proximal end and a distal end. The toggle body is configured to pivot along an axis that is between the proximal and distal ends. The toggle has upper and lower surfaces that define a slot that extends inward from the distal end. The rocker arm has a protrusion that extends into the slot between the upper and lower surfaces. The rocker arm also has a heel that is configured to rotate, engage, and activate the first electrical switch in response to the toggle body moving in a first direction to engage the protrusion with the toggle body within the slot.
