switch panel

[07commander]

Well i started to make a switch panel today for the switches for my led lights and compressor etc.

All the wiring is ran from engine bay to dash is done, switch panel is made, but trying to wire it up, aaarrrrrrrrgggghh i have 2 types of switches and I'm trying to bridge them but they are working opposite one other, it was getting late so i gave up and will continue tomorrow night.

Please show us a picture of your creation so far?

Sorry i didn't realise they didnt work, hope they do this time.

Sort it all out changed the switches to the same type, fitted it to the car, just have to think of a way of mounting it in.

Pic's of tonights work to follow.

The screw is only temporary until i work out how I'm going to fix it and also label the switches.

07commander,

I know you have your switches already, I put a switch panel in my WH and got the switches from these guys, the switches are marked and I put them in a panel, cut a hole in the dash left side of the steering wheel, wiring was fairly easy.

Centre pole is normally the source that you would bridge (say for positive polarity switching) and because there is a negative for the led light that will need to be done as well, down side to that kind of switch is you can't connect it up to the dimmer control for the rest of the dash.

A cheap label machine works well for your labels and is also a great tool for labeling your wires for later reference.

Another location for up to 3 "Carling" type switch's is in the console.

Yeah i know of these switches, but i wanted to fit 6 in, the ones i used are 12mm wide but still rated to 20 amp (I'm still running relay's).

Thank you any way, aironboard have some pretty good stuff i think...
