    I had a pretty similar question recently regarding a set up like yours (https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/help-on-diy-relay-panel-wiring.663317/#post-23242854)

    So looks like you had green and red 2 going to add-a-fuses under the dash? And red 1 going to a relay hooked to a blue sea fuse box? Pretty sure that's what I'm shooting for, but I'm running into issues with the white (green from CH4 switch) needing to go straight to power. Doin' me a confuse..

    Only one is going to the add a fuse. They just cross in the pic. Power out from switch goes to the relay to trigger it.

    I don't have that switch or setup, I just drew it up for the one that needed tp know how to wire it.

    Red 2 is a tap into the lighting circuit to light up the switch.

    So I want a sanity check, putting bumper/lightbar/ditch lights on this weekend. From each relay I have a red/white/black "to switch". The switch is a dual function 5 pin that has red/blue/yellow/green/black. If I am understanding everyone's posts here the wiring should look something like this:

    am I on the right track?

    Thanks

    Run red #2 wire to green wire coming of back of cargo light harness below and to the left of where your new switch is going ( if in the left of steering wheel location). That should be the switch illumination control wire (adjusts intensity with the rest of your dash lights and switches.) Remove the add a fuse. not needed. The switch will then only light up halfway when truck is on and fully when light bar is turned on. Cali raised has a video on their site that shows the connection of oem style switch for light bar but they tie both of the reds together for always on/always off the rest of the shown connections should match. Also they sell a harness to simplify oem switch installs for illuminated switches.
