Default Door lock wiring

I am trying to do away with my factory switches. Does anyone know if I could use a momentary on-off-on switch to do this? If so hou would it be wired? A diagram would help if anybody has done this.

Making Prostreet car and everything needs to be on toggle switches.

Looks like it's just a single pole double throw switch. Hot wire (pink) coming in and tan (down) and lt blue (up) coming out and going to the motor. Should be and easy switch.

Yes, you need to use momentary contacts. Here is a schematic to go by if you need it
