Thanks for the help guys. I have ordered but not installed an after market trim switch from Bass Pro that will mount on the dash or shifter box via two screws.

Its item # 28-502-322-00 in their 2006 catalog.
When I replaced the OEM switch the connector plug under the console came apart to allow me to install the new wires into the plug without splicing etc
