    So I'm installing my ViAir 400P on a DesertDoesIt mount and the molle panel on the side has a cutout for a power switch. I'd like an amber lighted one that just pushes right in the opening. Emailed a couple of days ago but haven't heard back from them, anyone have a source for something like this?

    The switch on the unit itself handles all 40A (max) current since the power is wired directly through it. If I need a relay that's no problem, I just don't want to have to dig back in once everything is installed.

    I think it was designed around the arb compressors, and the harness that they make. I could be wrong. But I have the tray, an arb single, and the harness that is originally supposed to travel across the engine bay, but for this I had to lengthen it quite a bit. My power harness runs under the truck, while the switch is inside the cab, through the console etc. still it has a relay and a fused power source.

    edit
    Partly why I think it was made for arb is that the switch included in my harness fit easily.

    Yes relay. put it on the tray with the compressor to save some space in the engine bay
