Ok to swap the wiring over first you need to remove the centre dash and unclip the wiring blocks from the back of the console, they just slide downwards. Then make a note of wire colours and which position in the block they are in. For the TC button there is a brown wire a red/brown wire and a yellow/grey wire. I tested the original switch with a multi meter to determine how the switch operates. The red/brown and brown wires appear to be for switching the TC and the yellow/grey is for illumination at night.
Once you have worked out the wiring you need swap the wiring to the new switch position, you could cut and splice the wires but I found it neater to move the wires with connectors to their new switch position.
First remove the grey plastic clip in the connector to allow you remove the wires
A screwdriver under the edge and twist
Then pullout with pliers
Then using a small screwdriver or something slim, I used a dart. There is a small clip part on the connector itself push the clip in and pull the wire and it should slide out of the holder. This si a little awkward and may take a few attempts until you get the hang of it
Here is a picture of the connector so you can hopefully see the clip part.
Then all you have to do is put the wires into the wiring block in the switches new position.
On the small TC switch the two connectors together were the TC switching on the one I got and the one offset was the illumination connection.
Hope this is helps. Let me know if you need anymore help or if I've got anything wrong.
