Switch Pros 9100 install and BS thread

I couldn't find a solid answer as far as which wire to tap into for the trigger wire. All I found in this thread was just with the add a fuse unless I missed something in this thread. I found a video online , this was the best POR I could find. https://youtu.be/pIWOeJZ282M
He connected it, at least to what I could see in this video to the same wires as I did. Unless it was wire 1,8,2,or 12

 

Ignition. The light blue wire is needed to power the unit. The white wire I ran and tapped into my side marker light to dim the keypad when parking lights are switch on. Lights etc

 

I know the lot came with one. I just figured it would be easier to do it this way since there was some confusion about which fuse to tap into. If this will cause issues for me for the current wire with the t-tap. I'll dig around some more and figure out which fuse to tap into

 

Lol yes. Use the add a fuse but which fuse to tap into is what I'll find out

 

If you go back a few pages I posted a photo of how I used a fuse in the under hood fuse box.

 

Looking for it. Do you recall which

 

Has anyone found out a way to use Light bars or Pods that have a backlight "DRL" function built into the light to work with the 9100? I cannot find anything about it.

 

You would have to have a switch for that. Personally I think it’s a waste of a circuit. So I actually tell people to put them on a single toggle. Backlights don’t need a relay.

 

I am just about to install the Dual ARB compressor and switch pro's... did you end up needing this for the install?: https://store.switchpros.com/quick-connect-harness-for-arb-compressors/

 

Yes. Where are you gonna install it?

 

no you don’t need it. You don’t even need the arb harness except the main power harness that connects to the battery.

The small plug coming off the compressor is what you need - purple wire is your trigger wire and the black is negative obviously.

The twin has built in relays so you can run it on 1-4 if you wish.

 

Oopa sorry just saw it now. Where is your qd on that arb?

 

qd?

 

Quick disconnect

 

it’s sold by wits end

I ran the arb stainless leader line to a push to connect fitting and then ran nylon hose from that fitting to the quick disconnect.

 

What kind of battery are you running. I'm thinking about upgrading to the northstar agm31.i have a dual band 35a radio, 40 inch lightbar, 20inch light bar, GAINT ASS ditch lights and reverse lights.

 

They say you don't need the ARB quick disconnect harness, but it was alot easier to use and connect to the Switch Pro. I liked it and it works for me.

 

So this is not needed: https://expeditionessentials.com/pr...mount-extension-harness?variant=2137337167881

I am running the dual compressor all the way from the bed

 

Needed, no. Will it help make the install easier? Yes. otherwise, you'll have to run and manage your own wires all the way up.
