No. There is A LOT more that goes into the Auto4wd than the switch in the dash. The switches themselves are very much different as well. The standard 3-button switch has true switching with direct connection of conductors while the 4-button Auto4wd switch connects through resistors and the TCCM interprets the difference in output to determine which button was pressed.
