Welcome.

I have 6 switch panel with 20 Amp max circuit, and an ARB single, which uses a 40 Amp fuse. I wired that fuse to the battery, and run the relay signal wire ( I can't remember the color now) to my Auxbeam relay box. So basically, my auxbeam acts as a glorified switch to control ARB's relay. Keeps it neat in the cab and safe under the hood

 

so it is functional with it ?
yes justa switch basically

 

Yes, Auxbeam as a switch only. And compressors works just fine, it doesn't care what the switch looks like, as long the relay gets a signal.

 

good to know you got any pictures man?
did you connect it to the 30amp switch on th e auxbeam

 

Also, didn't have to run another set of wires into the cab, or worry about additional switch location.

I mean I know it kinda sucks that even though there is a relay box, I still had to connect wires straight to the battery, but there's no other way.

 

No pics, sorry. I connected to the 10 or 15 Amp one, the last one (It's been a while, can't remember the values). All it does is sends a signal to the relay, which should use less than 1 amp

 

and feeds only from the battery?
thank you man

 

Yes. In my case one wire with a single in line 40 Amp fuse that came with ARB harness.

 

I actually did the same thing with a 500 Amp winch relay/separator as well. Aaaaannd after that I was kicking myself about getting a 6 switch Auxbeam instead of 8.... oh well
