Abstract: A switch assembly having steering wheel switches located on the steering wheel and are configured to provide generic outputs enabling the connection of equipment controlled from the steering wheel. Specialty vehicles may be up-fit with equipment to perform varying functions defined by the needs of the individual user using the vehicle. Users can define functions critical to their specific usage that enable maintaining both hands on steering wheel while performing mission-critical functions and reduce driver distraction from verifying that a switch, button, or dial on a control head is in the desired position.
