ABSTRACT:
A control pod for a vehicle is structured and positioned to provide easy manual access to the actuators for pairs of functionally-related mechanical switches housed in the control pod. Integrally-formed pairs of actuators are associated with respective pairs of functionally-related switches. Each switch of a pair is mounted on an opposite side of a circuit board from the other switch. The circuit board is mounted in a control pod housing, and the pairs of actuators are connected to the circuit board. Each actuator of a pair extends to an opposite side of the circuit board for actuation of the respective switch. A pair of actuators are joined at a common midsection and are resiliently deformable about that midsection to provide the displacement required for switch actuation. Pairs of visual indicators are positioned on the control pod in proximity with a respective pair of actuators for signifying actuation of respectiive ones of an associated pair of switches.
