Switch Pros 9100 install and BS thread

Awesome thanks everyone, the fishing throuigh the firewall won't be too hard since I already have my Spod 6 switch through it. I can just tape the two bitches together and run it through. I had to bump up to the switch pro from the Spod because I'm gonna need all 8 buttons for when I get my fridge installed for the power to the rear.

 

I curious why you would need to have a dedicated switch for the fridge? I ran my positive to a 50 amp BlueSea breaker. When I pull the fridge out I trip the breaker so I could free up a switch circuit.

 

Honestly its just an idea a came up with. I was going to wire a blue sea outlet from the bed to the switch pro, and control it that way. But I've honestly been trying to read and figure out other ways to power a fridge, so by all means if you have some advice, im all ears sir.

 

My Switch-Pros is almost full, so I ran dedicated power from the battery to a breaker then to the bed.

No fridge yet , but will have one soon.

 

@Gaumi54 this is probably the best way. I just haven’t got around to finishing the power distribution outlet yet like he has. (I have one just haven’t got around to putting it in) I ran a marine 8ga dual wire to the back of the truck after my breaker under my hood at the end I put some spade connectors. I cut off the cigarette plug and put the male connectors on the power cord to the fridge. I had to do mine quick and dirty last year because some of the Blue Sea parts and pieces were on back order and I was leaving for a trip. When I pull the fridge out, I unplug it and trip the breaker.

 

Man my head is spinning! Replaced my battery this week and took the opportunity to clean up all my wiring. I have:
- Light Bar
- Ditch Lights
- LED Bed Lights
- Baja Roof Rack Lights
- Puddle Pods
- Grille Lights

... all wired to cab switches. I know nothing about wiring but everything comes with detailed instructions that I followed. So they all work, I just couldn't tell you how. And as I added accessories over the years, you can imagine how messy it got under the hood. So I basically unplugged everything this weekend while changing out the battery and installed a blue sea 12 block fuse panel & 100 circuit breaker. Problem is I now need someone to explain to me like a 5 year old how to wire it all back up! For example, wire from accessory to fuse block to relay to cab switch... and so on. Any advice is greatly appreciated!

 

I guess it depends what you are trying to do. Wiring to a fuse block is diff from wiring to a switch pro

 

Yeah I can't afford the switch pro so I've just got 6 individual cab switches wired up. Was just thinking this thread could help out because like I said, my head is spinning with all the searching of threads. I need a wiring accessories for dummies book. All I'm trying to do is wire everything up to the fuse block to clean it all and make sure it's done proper with the appropriate relays, fuses, and power.

 

All you need to do is move the positive leads from the battery to the fuse block. Then most run the grounds to a bus bar

Howdy,

Just received some not-so great news from @CaliRaisedLed that the 3rd Gen 2020+ Switch Pro mount is out of stock for at least a couple months. Does anyone know where I could track down a similar/same mount? I think @MESO crafted this one for caliraised.

 

Random question but has anyone spotted a way to mount a Switch Pro on the left side of the steering wheel above the vent? I have the above mount, but am looking to run a 2nd Switch Pro and I'd really like to have it in better line of sight. I saw that SDHQ did the opposite putting it below the above panel: https://sdhqoffroad.com/collections...a-sdhq-built-switch-pros-sp-9100-keypad-mount but I feel like that will cramp leg space or I'd be likely to hit it all the time getting in and out of the truck.

 

I have this same thing in my truck bed. It has been super useful. I have it wired to my secondary batter so it wont kill the main.

 

Maybe this @SpikerEng mount can get you Sorted?

 

You have a handle on the drivers side?

 

I stole one off the assembly line when I did a tour through the Toyota assembly plant in Sinaloa Mexico.

 

Haha I really don't understand why that was removed on the 3rd gens.

 

I think it's from the small overlap crash test. That's my own personal theory.

Does anyone know if it's possible to hook up the OEM foglights that have Squadrons, to the SP?
