Without knowing how the two switches are each connected in their respective circuits (e.g.whether they are high-side or low-side switches, normally-closed or normally-open) it is difficult to suggest a foolproof way of doing what you want. We could make some guesses, but get it wrong and there could be circuit damage.
Any chance of posting schematics of the circuitry? Makes/models?
