Abstract: A stabilizer and electrical connector maintains a stable and secure electrical connection between an electric lighting module lamp support and a signage frame. The connector is an integral, unitary body having a plate shaped base section with dual lateral tension clips extending down from the base section and an adhesive member which is attached to the bottom surface of the base section. The connector uses a “stick and hold” method to lock itself to the face of a signage frame. The integral body also has a columnar support section having a through channel extending up from the base section to accept an electric lighting module lamp support. An electrical connector section having a front facing cavity containing front facing electrical plugs and at least one lateral cavity containing laterally facing electric plugs also forms a part of the connector's integral body.

Abstract: The present invention includes an electrical adapter switch assembly for bypassing the door light circuit on a Jeep TJ® when the driver and/or passenger door is removed. The defeat switch is a plug in electrical adapter designed to bypass the door light circuit on a Jeep TJ® when either or both front vehicle doors are removed. In use, the adapter is inserted in place of the existing door fuse. A slider switch mounted on the cover of the adapter is placed in an On/Normal position where the door light circuits function in the normal manner. Conversely, when placed in an Off/Remote position, the fuse is effectively removed from the circuit and the door lights will not operate even if the vehicle doors are removed. A remote plug allows for a remote mounted switch, perhaps located on the dashboard to be wired in to control the door light circuits.
