What are these wires behind my VDC?
 
1 Attachment(s)
I'm looking to do an auto off for my VDC switch but as you can see from the picture below there are four wires versus the simple on and off switch wires. My home computer is down right now so I can't look at the Nissan Manuels to see if I can find a wiring diagram for the VDC switch. Any help would be great!

Power and ground for background illumination.

This.

You'll almost never see a simple 2 conductor harness for anything in this car, there's always illumination or some such other fancy function.

Makes total sense, just what wire does what is my issue. Feel like I'm in a bad B movie and don't know which wire to cut!?

Cut the wrong wire and the car explodes. :p

Myself I hooked up a 555 timer chip to the VDC so I can never be sure if it is on or off at any given moment.

According the pinout diagram it is pin 1 & 2, the center pins.

Pulling pin-1 to signal ground (pin-2) is the contact closure.
