    Hey Rob, what size fuse did you use in your add a switch? My wiring schematic from my AOB switch says to use a 3 amp fuse so that's what I was probably gonna go with

    Aux back up lights, Bed lights, Re-located trailer plug, Good dooby, a.k.a. jumper cable mod, Heated seats, back up camera,
    If the light on the switch doesn't turn off at all, swap the feed and the wire going to the light bar on the switch.
    Also when selecting a fuse, take the wattage of the lights and divide be the voltage. I.e. 120w/ 12v= 10 amps.
    Most important, the fuses are there to protect the wires, not the thing it's feeding. Size both accordingly. :thumbsup:

    perfect timing on this thread! I just got my mictuning harness in the mail and was having questions about the switch light (I have a five post switch) here's the diagram they sent me. I assume post six is where the switched 12v would connect to?

    I ended up using a 10 amp fuse just to cover all the bases.

    Yupp! I ended up using the Mictuning push button switch for a more factory look!
