Retrofittable switch guard

A vehicle control switch comprising:

• a control switch switchable between ON and OFF states responsive to physical actuation of the control switch by an operator, the physical actuation comprising an application of force onto the control switch by the operator;
• a switch housing to receive the control switch therein, the switch housing comprising a switch mount having one or more mating slots formed therein;
• and
• a switch guard secured to the switch housing and positioned about the control switch, the switch guard comprising:
• a wall structure defining a volume to receive the control switch therein;
• and
• a depressible mating feature positioned on each of opposing ends of the wall structure, the depressible mating feature configured to selectively mate with the one or more mating slots formed in the switch housing to secure the switch guard to the switch housing.

A retrofittable rocker switch guard for preventing accidental actuation of a rocker switch, the retrofittable rocker switch guard comprising:

• a rigid wall structure configured to accommodate positioning of a rocker switch therein, the rigid wall structure including one or more openings formed on each of opposing ends thereof;
• and
• a spring pin retained in each of the one or more openings and being translatable therethrough to provide securing of the rigid wall structure about the rocker switch, wherein each spring pin is depressible so as to vary a diameter thereof from a diameter larger than a diameter of its respective opening in which it is retained to a diameter that provides for placement of the spring pin within the opening and translation therethrough;
• wherein each spring pin exerts a radial force against the opening in which it is retained so as to secure the spring pin in the opening in a fixed position.
