Nice work. I was wondering about this possiblity, but you beat me to it.  ;-)

These two switches to the left sound right. I think that was the combination 
that was complained about at the time: Some people would reach to turn 
their wipers on at night and somehow bump the lights off instead. I never 
came remotely close to making this mistake, but that doesn't mean that it 
wasn't possible.

Any chance that there is a smaller hole up and right from the steering 
column that might have started out as the brake warning light before it was 
filled in too?
