The simple answer is ..... yes.
I have to take it apart when it is painted so I can do it then. If the switch module is held down by a latch then the wires do not need to be so long. One end of the splice is soldered and insulated with heat shrink. I did not want get in the car with a soldering iron, something always gets burnt, usually me.
I have the back up camera now so it should all be done in a day or so. I was so careful in the wiring to the harness and still managed to get one connector wired wrong. I think a magnetic latch might work to keep the switch module in place.
