The switch has arrived

[visitor]

We're thinking more of using the buttons to potentially wire in new or access existing accessories, like cargo area lighting, backup lights, etc. that would require basically a power source controlled through the switch.

Haven't gotten any further on this.

I don't have the pin-out for the #42568937 board, nor a '20 Encore GX Essence AWD service manual

Did you try that Chilton’s link I gave you?

Lemme get my front end back together and I’ll pull mine loose and look at the wiring. I have an Essence, so maybe it’s different? I also have a Fluke tone and probe kit. Maybe I can trace down those wires.

Question… have you put power to the board and then shorted the two solder pads where the button would go? You should see a voltage swap. What about checking continuity between the solder pads?

Nope, nope, haven't gotten that far into it at all - just collecting parts for a future mod.
No rush.

The one I got is no longer available but there are tons available. This one is a bit bigger, not much more and has lots of good reviews. Amazon.com

I bought one of these kits too and it's some of the best money I've spent on my car
