Need some help.
Planning to wire some stuff up in my sxs.
Bringing 6ga power and ground under hood, power and ground going to a bluesea 6 circuit fuse block/ground combo. Looking to put a few of those 5 post carling switches in dash.
Sorry if this sounds elementary to most of you, but I am just not sure what I need to do.
I have a small understanding of relays, but it has been awhile.
I want to use the lighted switches to control the relays that control the led lights and a few other accessories. Would prefer each accessory have it's own relay.
So, for each relay, would I bring the 12v from the fuse block into 87 on the relay?
Here's where I lose it...Connecting each relay to each switch.
Could I use ignition power to #2 on switch for illumination? I only want these hot when key on.
Or does this need to be 12v from battery? If ignition, does this need fuse for this low power lighted switch? Can I jumper this to multiple switches?
86 from relay will go to #3 on switch?
I am guessing the switch only "needs" a small amount of ignition power to switch the relay?
Anyone able to post a diagram for this? If I am way off, let me know. thanks all.
For wiring on the control side of the switch, #8 terminals of switches can be connected/paralleled together, as can the #2 terminals. The ignition feed to terminals #2 should be fused (2A to 3A is fine). The terminals marked #3 connect to each relay as stated. The BlueSea fuseblock will provide the fusing for the loads.
Terminals #7 are paralleled as are terminals #8. These should be able to be connected to existing illumination circuit in dash.
