[Sl!mer]

I'd like to build a switch that is on the outside of the pack in the back. Would there be an easy way to just purchase a switch to do this? My electrical skills are amateur. Would I need to splice the power cables to expose the wires? Thanks!

You'd need a put a single pole switch in the wires, yeah (or splice in other wires in between that do the same thing).

If you can build that above you can do it
