Hey guys I have spent some time searching for the answer and also have even tried to call the dealership but they did not seem to want to tell me. I plan on re-purposing the rear window override switch (doesnt allow the back windows to be controlled by their door switches) into a killswitch for countermeasures since I currently go to school in Virginia. I know the back 2 windows use fuses 39,41 so since it wasnt listed on the sheet in the trunk I thought it might make since that it used fuse 40 but when I checked that fuse slot is empty. I really would like to not have to alter the interior to accommodate another switch. So if any of you could help I would greatly appreciate it.
My only other thought (and I am praying it isnt this) is that it is just linked right into the power for both doors after the fuse box which would make tapping into it a huge pain. anyway thanks for you help

The current switch is not linked into the power of both doors, it is much more complicated.

The car has control units that communicate with each other via different CAN buses. It would not be easy to rewire the current switch for other purposes and for sure it is a low power signal switch that could not handle any significant current.

You should get hold of the wiring diagram, makes planning much easier.

Well that is disappointing, thanks for the help. I guess I'm just going to have to wire in a killswitch. I just need to find a good place to locate it without having to cut into any of the panels, I'm not sure how much longer I am keeping the car.
