Toggle switch plug

Anyone know where I can get a plug for the toggle switch bank? My dealer told me they do not sell them and I would have to buy the entire switch bank!
Please tell me thats not the case, and that I can find a $.10 plastic cap somewhere.
Thanks,
Jason

You're going to have to be a bit more specific - what is it you're looking for?

A toggle?
The 20(?) pin OEM connector?

If you can tell us what you're trying to do we may be able to help.

yeah I haven't heard of a "plug" but I do know you could call around to the local salvage yards to see if they have any MINIs that you can get the peice off relatively cheap.
That's sort of what we did when we added in the blank toggle spots on my car. Now she has a full toggle panel! Yippeee!

My toggle panel is not full. It is missing 1 switch. Where the missing switch is there is a hole. That hole is usualy covered by some sort of plug right? That is the part I'm looking for. The plug for the hole.
Thanks

I'll sell you a toggle switch and the 2 "plastic thingies" (needed to keep it level)

Then you will have a nice looking full bank

Then have fun with it ..."!"...

Ok, so you need a toggle. No, there is not a plug or similar, though you can add a non-functional toggle by drilling out the blank spot. Here is a how-to.

Ok, I have seen the error of my ways. I was under the impression that the spaces in the switch panel were drilled from the factory and plugged if you did not have certain options. I.E rear fogs. I purchased my car last week and the slot normally assigned for the rear fogs was drilled out, but no switch and no symbol above it. It looks like the person that owned the car before me must have been trying to do something with that slot. I'm going to investigate it now. COR BLMY is hooking me up with a switch so now my switch bank will be full. Thanks to COR BLMY for helping me out, and to everyone else that responded.

Missing toggle? hmm, maybe you could put the Aux in jack there! That'd be super cool

Scavenger,
That was my first thought. AUX in for the I-pod, but I hate seeing wires. This will now become the switch that controls the ejector seat!
