Anyone ever pull an SSE/SSEi switch panel apart? I took an extra SSE switch board apart tonight...and found 2 switches on the SSE panel. Anyone know what the hell they do or are supposed to do? It'* beyond me what these switches are supposed to do. I have no ideas. Here are a couple picks to see what I'm talking about:

It almost seems to be the case, because the SSE panel only has 2 switches in the T/C and Ride switching area of the circut board?

I'm not sure what you're asking. The circuit boards are all printed the same no matter what option combo you have. Then they add leds, microswitches, and illumination bulbs to match the option group you ordered. 92-95 pods have a pigtail soldered to the board with a female connector at the other end, while 96-99s have the attached male plugs you have pictured.
If you're asking why you have two switches for three buttons, look at the plastic pod. The ride buttons use a rocker arm so that when you push down on the performance button, the microswitch gets pushed up by the arm.

a car that turned all the wheels....., many people would think that was really weird to drive, I think it would be cool, but then they need to adapt the suspension big time in the back, and probable disable the ELC and independent suspension and such
