take one of the 3 parkin light circuit outputs form the switch and use
it to switch a relay.  Set up the relay to send the main 12v to the
three parking light circuits when it is triggered.  Now the relay will
take the current and not the switch.

there is room under the cowl to do all this, just wire it carefully and
make sure there won't be any shorts.
