Wiring help.

so i recently bought an (Iggy Switch Pannel) and a sPOD, i have been looking at the OTRATTW switches to pair with it.

the sPOD unit comes with only 3 plugs that go to the backs of the switches
and the switches I'm looking at have 5 prongs to hook up.

that all being said i am no wiring guru an really have to idea how to solve my problem.
i have yet to order the switches to see if there is a way around this.

so any help is greatly appreciated

THIS IS THE WIRING DIAGRAM FOR THE SWITCH

The other wires are for the lights in the switch, so they would need to be wires to a dash light wire and to a wire thats hot when the light is on.

 

by the other wires you are saying the tabs on the back of the switch correct?

 

Yeah 6 & 7 are for your switch illumination when your headlights are turned on. If you left those not hooked up your switch would still work fine. Otherwise hook them up if you want it to light up at night like some of your other switches do.

 

i do want them hooked up just not sure how to daisy chain them an where to get the power from for it.

 

Well you won't be able to dim the switch like your stock switches since the new one uses LEDs. If you just want it to light up when the headlights are on easiest would be...

Jumper wire from 7 to 8 with a wire grounding one of them (doesn't matter which one)

For 6 you need to tap into the solid green wire from one of your toyota switches and run it to 6 on your new switch. That will light it up with the rest of the switches when your headlights get turned on.

 

Oops just noticed you will have multiple switches. Daisy chain just means to jumper common posts. Such as jumper wires that hit pin 7 on each switch and also pin 6

 

ok!
so jump all the 8s to the 7s

then tap the green wire from factory wires to a 6 then daisy chain them?

 

For each individual switch jumper wire for 7 & 8. Then also jumper wire that hits 7 on all of your new switches. And on one of the switches 7 or 8 (doesn't matter which switch or which post) a wire running to ground. This will provide the ground you need for both bulbs on all new switches.

you got it!

 

thanks man! BIG help.

 

No problem
