    Hi all, looking for some assistance. I am making an overhead switch panel with traditional toggle switches and small indicator lights (I will be sharing the 3D printing files for all this free).

    I have an offroad/pro and hence a rear locker OEM small push button, my front locker and compressor are both ARB harness so those are easier for me to switch I just need to get the right kind of toggle switches (can't find a 6 pole single throw what is the right term lol).

    Anyways I'm hoping someone may be able help me out with the wiring. Both of these push button switches are 4 pins.

    The top connector is the front locker, bottom is traction off.

    I will try to help. I have both my lockers and compressor run into the MESO over head console switch panel using small Toyota push switches.
    The locker plug connectors from ARB are a 5 wire connector with 2 black grounds, while the Toyota small push switch are a 4 wire. On the ARB side both black wires are run together creating a 4 wire on the ARB side.

    here are a couple of my install videos for the compressor and the lockers. You can look through them for the electrical set up which might help you out.
    let me know if you have any questions.

    Also since you are going to the overhead console be ready to extended the illumination & power wire to the fuse block. The AC drain hole is a great spot to run the wires into the cab, I go through it in the compressor install video. Good luck.

    So I hadn't intended to stick with my MESO overhead CH4x4, I was going to go retro style with toggles & red indicator lights but its fine I pretty much decided to stick with this what you're doing since I know it'll look much more OEM. Gonna go wire it up now will report back, appreciate this in depth post.

    PS air frier definitely changed my life more than my lift, thank you.
