I'll draw it up for you. You can do fancy connectors or just plane Jane ones. All that you really need to know is that it makes it so when you want to add something, you just plug in a small 12" jumper wire in your cab and Bam, you're switch and accessory is ready to go because you pre-wired everything except the last foot beween two plugs

 

Before you know it, you’ll be running a touch screen from your dash to control all your aux outputs

Edit: for which I will be jealous.

 

Normal ones

You can get the way cheaper btw or buy from people on here who have extras.

And again, I'll send you pics

 

Not for $800 I won't

Do you run both "boxes" on the inside and just rund the wire through the firewall, or do you mount one "box" on the fire wall?

 

Both to the inside of the firewall. The plug that come from the fuse box will have all the wires for every slot already connected and filled. The plug side in the cab will have only as many as you need going to the switchs. So when you get a new item, just make a short wire that goes from the switch to the connector and you're good.

Here's what it looks like when it's all wired up, sort of. But see what I mean about pulling just 1 group of cables through ?

Here we go.

So basically you're running just 1 hot wire. Not 1 hot wire for every switch. And then you chain them together. Then you only have 1 wire that when the switch is turned on, sends power to the relay. Those are the wires that go to the connector. You just add 1 wire when you want another switch

 

My raspberry pi just came in. Relays should be in soon. Can't wait to see if I smoke this thing building it.

 

My damn head hurts now

 

Haha I'll finish mine first and show a step by step .

See that swictch pannel ? Looks busy. It's really not though. Pull out a ruler, cut 5 pieces at 4". Crimp fittings. Done. Then you just plug them in. Cookie cutter stuff.

 

Ok, since I have the 12 circuit blue sea.....should I get this 12 connector molex?

Hold off for now. I might have extras by the time I'm done, I'll just mail them to you. Have to buy them in set amounts of 10 and I think I just need 4

 

Here's the bad boy I'm looking for

 

Thanks Phil. You jump-started my motivation to finish this again haha

 

I've got to get mine done. I need the usb charger before I head to VA to get that DRZ.

 

1 hr to go

I’m hungry

 

Yup. Gotta get to it !

 

I'm going bacon, egg, and cheese on toast this morning

I need Murph to have a free day to help...…………………. @medic2230

 

Haha 1-800-dial-a-Murph

 

I just need someone around that is familiar with it. I just don't want to tackle it by myself. I'm sure I could do it, I just need backup incase something happens...….can't be left stranded

 

Ask for anything just Not a Patch cord.
