Abstract
A thermoplastic air bag cover having a unitary multifunctional domed switching module is provided wherein the domes are integrally formed with a front plate of the switching module to seal and protect switches of the switching module. The domes extend through a window formed in a front panel of the cover and the domes include indicia formed on outer surfaces thereof to indicate a particular automotive vehicle accessory and its function to be controlled thereby. In one embodiment, a membrane-type horn switch is coupled to the unitary switching module at a rear inner surface of the front panel. Both the unitary switching module and the membrane-type horn switch are secured at an inner surface of the front panel of the air bag cover by first and second coupled back plates.
