Custom Rocker Switches

I think we are saying the same thing. I've got a total of 8 wires that run from the top to the fuse block behind my glovebox. The power and ground are split amongst all the switches right there by the overhead sunglasses holder.

Kind of. It looks like you have 6 grounds, 6 hots, and 6 accessory wires coming off the switches. Where as if you bring one hot up and jump from pole to pole with maybe one or two inch pieces of wire and do the same thing with the ground you will only have one hot, one ground, and then your six accessory wires all the way to the switches.

Instead of going switch to switch with power and ground, I have six 4 or 5" wires that come off of my single ground and single hot wire. That picture doesn't show the 12 wires coming off the two hot/ground wires. Hope that makes sense.

Makes sense. I was just curious if there was a reason you went that route. It looks like with that switch assembly you have more room behind the switches vs something like mine.

Done! Thank you Rookie! They came out great.

Looks good. I might end up switching to dual light switches down the road. It'd be nice to see the labels at night. I'm used to it now but sometimes feeling for the switch isn't the easiest.

@srs I'm guessing when they are red they are on?

 

[srs]

Yes, when on the red lights up. You can get lower or upper independent with several choices in colors. Good quality switches.

Is the SPOD just plug and play? Wire that to the battery? What is the amp rating?

Google works:

•12 position terminal block for accessory attachment
•6 Bosch style cube style relays (SPST 40amp) (plug-in style)
•6 ATO style automotive fuses 3 15 amp and 3 30 amp supplied
•6 Diodes to protect sensitive accessories such as LED lights from "field collapse"
•Inline 50amp manual resetting circuit breaker
•8 gauge power leads with crimped and soldered terminal for connection to the battery
•Integrated LVCO (Low-Voltage-Cut-Off) circuit that detects the battery voltage and will cut-off at 10.6VDC and cuts-back in at 12.4VDC so there is enough juice to start your vehicle in case you left an accessory on!!!
•Fuse for LVCO which can be removed to bypass the LVCO

It's plug and play. Mount the switches, mount the source, connect the harness to the two, connect the source to the battery, and then connect accessories to the source. All done.

The SPOD setup like @Rookie mentioned is a pretty simple and straight forward install. It's designed for minimal wiring for the user to hook up. All of the electrical components are already wired inside the box and is a huge time/physical space saver. But it's a bit $$$.
