Switch-Pro 8 switch panel group buy!

@GC8Steve

 

Did a similar install with my light bar. Install the light bar per the manufacturer's instructions, *with* the relay, run the wires to the battery, etc. Instead of whatever switch Cali included, you wire it to your switchpro. So the red trigger wire coming out of the switchpro engine bay unit takes the place of the in-cab switch for the light bar. That way, the switchpro triggers the relay, which then draws power straight from the battery to run your light bar.

 

Awesome, thank you. All makes sense, I was just thrown off by that relay, and was hoping to eliminate it due to the bulk of the wiring. Will wire per the instructions, mount the relay, and run the positive lead of the switch on the harness to the Switch Pro, correct? Thanks again!

 

Same pricing structure? What colors are offered?

 

So here is where I am confused. As you can see from the picture, the relay has 3 sets of wires coming out of it. One set that lead to the light bar connection, one set leading to battery connection with an in-line fuse, and the the third set leading to the switch. The switch has 3 wires included in it, and the the set leading to the battery has 2 wires. What would I run to the Switch Pro, and what would I cut/eliminate?

Also, I plan on running stock fogs lights off of my Switch Pro. Do I need a relay to do so? @Nitori

 

So those three wires plugged into the switch are 12v in, ground in, and 12v signal out. That is, power and ground are delivered to the switch, and when the switch is set to "on," it delivers 12v power out along the signal wire.

Since your switchpro is replacing the Cali Raised switch, what you want to do is connect one of the red wires coming out of the switchpro to the signal wire coming out of the Cali Raised switch. The power and ground wires going in to the switch you can tape off and disregard. You just have to figure which one of those wires is the 12v signal coming out of the switch.

My guess is that white wire coming out of the switch will probably be the signal wire, but to be sure, you'd have to refer either to Cali Raised instructions, or perhaps call or email them to ask. The switch and relay might have markings on them. If you have a multimeter or can borrow one, you can just plug the whole harness in, hook it up to your battery, and touch the multimeter to those contacts and see which one delivers 12v out when the switch is set to "on."

 

I understand what you are saying, but my only problem with that is that the bar requires a 30amp fuse to run. SP is maxed out at 18amps per circuit. The inline fuse on the wiring harness in on the two wires that are supposed to go to the battery.
My initial though was to cut and tape the switch wires, and run the red wire from the SP to the positive wire with the inline fuse, and then ground the ground wire. Sorry for the confusion, just not sure how to proceed.
Thanks

 

If your stock fogs are on the stock (or my sneaky "stock" retrofit) circuit, honestly I would just keep it off the switch pros because of the headache of de-fitting it from the stock circuit (ground switched).

Anyways if you're dead set though, I do not believe the switch pros needs ANY relays, as it is a solid state switching unit (which is why it's so expensive- instead of big clicky-clacky relays, it's space magic in a box. )

 

Is there a current gb going?

 

No, but we're all patiently waiting and hinting for another one.

 

If it's sooner than later I'm in. I have my bumper being built and should be ready mid November. And I stallings lights then. So if we can get one before then it in. Otherwise just have to order one full price.

 

In for the next one, or waiting for cyber Monday.

 

Please make this happen. I want one to plug the Compressor I’m getting into.

 

I doubt there's going to be a GB for this. I've been watching this thread for awhile now, but it seems that the vendor has a strict discount policy that prevents them (read: excuse not to) give users a discount. It's a great product with great technology, and it's totally worth the premium price tag if you want it. We all missed the boat when the original GB was done....

 

Well, one can hope

 

I've been watching this too, and get the same vibe. a GB for this product is highly unlikely.

AutoAnthing's coupons don't apply to the switchpro, which was a relatively recent change. This sort of indicates to me that discounts are unlikely.

 

@ramonortiz55 if it can be done, he will know.

 

I read another post that AA no longer sells these due to a violation of their pricing agreement or something like that.

 

I gave up on this and just bought mine on Amazon.

 

What I don't understand, and I do believe is that the manufacturer is still getting their price for the unit however it's the reseller that's discounting the units MSRP, WTF !?
Eg...
"Grand dude Offroad" purchases units from SP Manufacturing co. for $400 a piece, MSRP is a strict $500 a piece " Grand dude off road" sells 25 units a year (10K $ to SP)
2500$ to Grand dude Offroad. Grand dude Offroad would like to increase its sales decides to run a group Buy. increases sales to 100 units in the group but discounts the cost of the units 450 per unit to the consumer. ... consumer gets $50 discount,..SP still gets there 40k $ ,and Grand dude off road 5k $ to them plus more because of online traffic ...accessories,switches, wiring Etc. It seems to me everybody wins in these Group by situations.
What the hell can somebody please help me understand where I'm going wrong with my thinking ?? This is just my opinion
Why in the hell would SP cancel my reseller license for increasing sales to them as well
