adding switches (traction control & heated mirrors)?

I am planing on putting in a few switches for the Traction control and heated mirrors. Where have you put your switches. I did try the search but came up with nothing. I know there are some pics here I just can't find them

And with no debounce circuit, you also risk blowing your SAM up. Those are not intended to be switched inputs... let alone killing traction control kills stability control and ABS.

mdfortwoguy - why would you possibly believe a switch on a driven circuit would cause any electrical device to complain?
