Multi switch setup

what all is out there?

Ive seen:

S-pod (expensive for what it is, and bulky)

Switch-pro - better but not quite there... A BIT PRICEY

ACC trigger controller https://www.newlevelmotorsports.com/aactrigger.html?cmp=googleproducts&kw=aactrigger I've looked into this and I like that I can mount or keep the wireless switch anywhere, they clip in, NO DRILLING, or running wires through to the cab) and I can mount it to my 3TPAM... also has access via wifi/bluetooth app to control lights, dimming, and strobe functions. and for the price on a 4 circuit unit, 30a circuit support so it'll handle ALMOST any light, or SINGLE compressor duty (ARB dual lists 50.4a draw). For a higher load circuit this could be setup with a 60A relay controlled by this switch, but for lighting this will work great. the 6 shooters additional 2 circuits are low 5a circuits..



anyone have anything else?

 

I went with a switch pros 9100. I don’t have an opinion on it yet since I am installing hopefully this weekend. I’m mainly going to use it for lights and nice to haves like auxiliary lighting and the weboost. I’m still going to wire the air compressor and lockers to a traditional fuse block and rocker switches.

Powertrays has lots of options you could look into. They have mounting solutions for Spods and switch pros. They also sell mounting trays with blue sea fuse boxes so you can have a pretty clean DIY setup. EDIT- just reread your post and you are mainly talking switches... I saw something from Revere Overland on YouTube about a System that may be helpful to you. It’s essentially a fuse box with a switch panel. Go look at his channel. It’s one of the newest videos.

 

There's Also the busmann fuse block thing. I've never seen that ACC, but the switch pro works for me. I'm glad I went that route. Should have done it sooner

 

What all do you have connected to yours?

 

Light bar in the slimline bumper

Ditch lights

Raptor lights (perfect for strobe when pulled off the side of the road)

Rear amber light strip for additional hazards

Add on fan for condenser when idling long times in AZ heat

Might add my halos to a circuit, idk.

Then whatever else I feel like adding on a whim

 

i've got a switch pro 9100. its worth every penny.

 

I just have the Cali Raise Relay holder that mounts to the fender, and the cali raised wiring harness for the ditch lights, but i just ordered a BD 20" S8 lightbar, and I plan to add work lights/floods to the back of the bed rack. some rock lights as well, and eventually an ARB dual compressor (likely to have a dual battery system by then)

 

Based on yalls experience with it would you have any reservations about routing lockers and the compressor(just the switch obviously) to the switch pros? I’ve been a little hesitant (just because I watched the wrong overland bound video lol) about linking really critical equipment to that system. I’ve heard people say “the solid state systems fail and are hard to trouble shoot” but I don’t think I have ever seen a specific example.

just curious how much you trust the system vs a simpler setup.

 

i wouldn't hesitate to connect anything to it. High draw stuff (like a compressor), you'll connect the relay to the switch pro and just use it to turn on the relay. Pretty much everything else i connect directly to the switch pro.

With the switch pro, if i have some issue i can easily disconnect everything from my truck. Makes troubleshooting super simple and if you do have issues with the switch pros itself, their customer service is some of the best ive ever experienced.

 

Yap, what he said. I've had my coolant temp up to 242F. I can't imagine what the under hood temps would be, so reliability issues here.

 

I added this 6 gang controller to my old Jeep. The switch pad is only like 2”x3” so it fits great in the little cutout on the lower dash.it was around $100

Simple is good.

 

The ARB twin has built in relays, you turn it on via the trigger wire (purple).

 

WELL that helps.. didnt know it hada relay setup... all i read was 50a with load...
