Abstract
A switch activator device for ATVs and like vehicles operating in robust environments having a switch housing including an open back side and a front side having a central opening and at least one slots for receiving a switch actuator. At least one switch activator is mounted in the housing with a flange sized to engage the at least one slot in the housing. A central housing insert is put in the housing between the at least one activator to substantially close off the front side of the housing and provide mounting support to maintain the at least one actuator flange in the slot. Preferably the housing, actuators and insert are made by injection molding plastic.
