Switch Pros 9100 install and BS thread

You should make more of these. I’d buy one, love how clean it is, and since switchpro says don’t have the unit face up like a lot of others this is a great design. But real I’d like to buy one if you ever made more.

 

What is the fuse block for? If you have the switch pro what do you hook up to that?

 

The new vertical PowerTray fits nicely. See here for more installation photos.

 

Probably a dumb question. What is that other fuse block used for?

 

Accessories that do not require or would be inconvenient for SwitchPro switching. Hood lights, seat heaters, aftermarket horns, HIDS, cargo lights, etc.

The PowerTray includes space for the fuse block and it is wired completely independent of the SP. It really tidies up your engine bay accessory wiring.

 

Master “Panic” Switch

An alternative use of the SwitchPro Master switch function.

When camping, we sometimes experience large animals wandering around at night: elk, bison, bear, big cats. It freaks my wife (and me) out.

I set up an unused SwitchPro switch as a master to one touch illuminate a series of lamps around the truck camper from the bluetooth comfort of bed. It works!

 

You can also have it strobe or flash the other lights on your truck. I have my switches set up for a double tap to flash them.

 

Must the individual lamp be set up to one touch flash/strobe in order for the master to one touch set it off?

I’d like to have the lamps configured as two touch flash/strobe but have the master flash/strobe them in one touch.

 

I believe you can set it up like that with master control. I haven’t messed with it for a while.

 

How do I set them up to flash?

You can also set it up for one touch if its something you only want flashing.

 

A master (in my case the "Panic" switch) will turn on a slave in whatever manner the one touch slave is configured: if the slave is one touch flash, it will flash as a slave; if the slave is one touch pulsating strobe burst, it strobes on command from the master.

Two touch flash/strobe lamps are NOT flashed/strobed by a master.

And to complete a thought, the one touch strobe seems to take precedence over the one touch flash if a circuit is configured for both modes.

 

What tray is that?

 

PowerTray Vertical Mount for TRD.

 

Thanks!

 

Ughhh of course they come out with that. I’ve been through some serious rain and haven’t had any moisture in the engine bay. Not sure I want to dismantle the whole setup to put that one in tho it may be worth the alternative.

 

Does any one make a mount that allows you to use some of Blue sea blocks and still mount an ARB compressor?

 

I have 2 S8 light bars (one in the front bumper and one on the roof rack) and I want to turn both back lights on at the same time. Do you guys see any issues with terminating them both on the same switch so they come on at the same time? Maybe two separate ring terminals stacked?

 

You could depending on what the draw is. I’d guess 2x 30” or 40” bars is too big for one switches output though unless you use it to flip a relay.

 

Anyone know where to get a plug/cover for the small sized switch hole (like the one just below the red arrow, below)?
