    Yeah, I saw the pic of the ARB harness on the main page and poked in to take a look. I'm looking at doing the same thing for the PDS, but a different solution. It looks like they simply tie into the factory ARB harness rather than making a new one, same with Spod. I think I'll be making my own from scratch.

    The loose ends connect to you your switchpro out puts. It looks like it takes 3 outputs, 1 for the compressor and 2 for lockers. the other end connects to the harness that comes with the compressor where the factory switches connect.

    I don't have a switch pro, but I bought a cheap mictuning switch panel which looks to be the same size. I'm thinking about mounting it in this same location, whenever I get around to it I'll post pictures/guide

    is the compressor harness plug the same for dual and single compressors?

    in other words will that harness work for both compressors setups?

    I think it does becuase you use the harness supplied by ARB, this just plugs into that.

    The top harness is what powers the compressor and the second harness towards the front, that connects to the switches, is what gets replaced by the one they make. You can see the same 4 pin connector there.

    I just heard back from Switch Pros and they have confirmed this. The red wire goes to the switch wire on the sp8100 and the green/yellow are for connection to lockers.

    "All you have to connect is the red wire to the switch pro's red output wire, for air compressor operation.
    The green and yellow wires are for the arb air lockers, if equipped."

    Go Rhino Raptor Running Boards, switch pros 8100, ditch lights, hidden bumper lights, OEM+ and Prinsu Roof Rack.
    If anyone is looking for a clean solution to install the SP-8100 in the cubby hole check out SDHQ.com they're based out of Arizona but ship anywhere and they offer a clean replacement molding to swap out with the cubby hole trim. I just got mine and look forward to installing that bad boy soon!

    I stand corrected! I just saw that on my switch pro sheet a few hours ago. I'd like to see your air compressor installed!

    Anyone have any issues wiring in a light bar to the switch pro? I managed to get my ARB compressor wired in so it is working, but my light bar just doesn't seem to want to work.

    The light bar worked once out of the box when I direct connected it to the battery with the original switch turned it on and lots of light. turned it off, shut the truck off disconnected the batteries.

    Installed the switchpro, wired in the compressor, and light bar, and nothing it won't work, compressor turns right on, no issues. Well there was a small issue, I had the wires hooked up to the wrong darn connectors for the compressor so the buttons I thought were right were wrong.

    Anyways, all that happened with the light bar was the fuse blew on the line coming off the battery feeding the relay. What I am baffled at is the relay is 40amp, 12v, yet the fuse for the power is 25amp, while there was apiece of masking tape from the factory labeled as 40 (not sure what this was for). Oh the light bar in question is the heretic wraith 40", the 40 tape was probably to indicate the wiring harness was for 40" light bar.

    Anyways, I had the positive wire from the switch to the switch pro, black to a negative bus grounded out to the factory position, and the yellow wire(feeds power to the light on the old switch capped off). When I pressed the button on the switchpro nothing but a pop on the fuse (blew), replaced it 2 or 3 times with the same fuse and nothing, won't blow anymore fuses, and the light will not come one. Any suggestions? Presume I am doing something really stupid or forgetting something here. Find it baffling the compressor install was done correctly by me, yet wiring in a relay to use the switch pro to close it is throwing me for a loop.

    Figured it out. Just had the wrong wire in place. Then I decided to just cut apart the harness and wire it how I knew it would work best directly to the switch pro.

    Question for those using Switchpros: What do you think of the quality of the stickers and buttons? Will I eventually wear through the stickers and buttons with daily use? I don’t want it to look like an old TV remote or the buttons on my microwave. Haha.

    When using the ARB connector and the switch pro, can I use one of the 7 15 amp buttons or does it need to go to the 30 Amp. Im thinking its just a switch and not powering the ARB so one of the 15 amps should be fine.

    I believe you need the relay that comes with the arb wiring. So you can use one of the lower amp switches
