Abstract
An energy harvesting switch is disclosed. The energy harvesting switch includes a magnet, a coil, and a mechanical switch. The manipulation of the mechanical switch causes the magnet to move with respect to the coil and generate an amount of energy. The energy harvesting switch also includes a transmitter configured to use the generated amount of energy to transmit a signal to at least one component coupled with a vehicle, the signal configured to cause a change to at least one characteristic of the at least one component.
