I have been googling and searching for exactly this for 2 days. Every other video just shows the power it to a battery. But you’re actually showing it’s possible to power it to an accessory to turn it on and what all the individual plugs mean. Thank you I can finally put my truck together!
Awesome! So I could just wire the left side and skip the dash light correct? I want to wire mine so I can switch it on without have the key in. I know it’ll drain the battery but there occasions I just wanna turn on my spot lights to do something on the farm without turning the key. And I don’t want a light in the switch to be draining it
Easy to follow, thank you. I was struggling with wiring a filter shaker for a sweeper and your instruction did the trick.... 2-minute fix after viewing your video... Thank you!
Do you have a video for a 6pin rocker switch? It helped A LOT with re-wiring my fog lights and rear defrost switch, but the rear wiper/wash switch is a 6 pin with 8 numbers and I don't get it.
Well done. Nice and simple explanation. For 5 stars - You might have mentioned the pin numbers that are shown on the switch . Also you might have commented that If Pins 3 (Acc) and 6 ( +ve Dash connection) are joined together then the lower "dash" light also comes on if so desired for whatever reason as well as the top switch light.
Thank You so much! Finally a Video of the same Switch i have and an easy and straight "How-To" so i can understand where the pins for! I'm working on a Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptor and installing a new center console with these switches for a customized experience.
great vid. simple and clear. thanks. I am wiring a switch for my baitwell on the beach for nite fishing. When i need to dip bait and lite up my baitwell, now i will see the switch in the dark.
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! You have no idea how many videos I had top watch before coming to yours! Finally! You helped me figure out the virtual "RAT"S NEST" of wiring that came with my rocker panel!
I enjoyed your video. I was wondering how to wire the switches. But, when you talked about the left side, ground top and bottom power comes from the dash???? I have no idea wher to get the dash power from. I don’t want to put to much power to the bottom ??
How does this work with a horn using a negative trigger wire? Do I just substitute the Battery 12V towards the chassis of the car? Do I still ground the horn to the chassis?
Awesome video.. thx . But I still have a question.. when you have the switch totally wired in and all the light are off in the vehicle "parked". The switch would be totally dead or "no lights on switch" so it won't drain your battery?? Right??
Great video! Question, I have mix of 3 and 5 pin switches in a panel. I would like to wire them so bottom (dash light) light on switch is always on and top led on switch is also always on. Meaning switch is fully illuminated top and bottom all the time whether it is off or on. How would this be done with the 5 pin and 3 pin rocker switches? Thank you
Thanks for info 👌🏻 I looked on line to see which pin what’s for couldn’t find any and bought the switch on line and came without any diagram . It was useful and that’s when I like about RUclips ... Thanks again 🙏🏻
Can you do one of these switches into a 3 way switch so that when you have a light bar you can choose to out it on manually or have it rigged into headlight high beam so that when you flash your headlight the light bar flashes also please thanks
Just a quick question on a rocker switch if Iv got copper colour terminals would they be earth or live Because on a 7 pin switch Iv got 3 are a copper colour Would appreciate any help
Without seeing the switch I would say they're the two banks, 7 pin switches are usually a double pole double throw. The 7th pin that hasn't one opposite is usually your earth/negative
@@VideoShowMeHow I have watched it. The rockers came wired together in series. But i dont know what to do with the other wires that are coming from the light bar.
Is there a safety cover for a rocker switch? When my Lab rides in the Ranger with me, he always places those large paws on the dash and thus constantly turns the 4 wheel drive to various modes. Can’t imagine that is good for the transmission. Need something to place over the switch to prevent that from happening.
Excellent explanation of the switch. I’m using it locally as the on/off switch under my bonnet directly hooked to my battery. Problem was the light remained on and was drawing power. Removed the light switch (power from dash lights). Is this setup still drawing power sitting idle or just live but not active ? Asking if this will drain my battery in the off position ? The hot + power from battery to the switch is fused correctly.
Hello there, I am running a dual battery system on my truck and I wonder is it possible to wire a voltmeter from each battery and connects them to one switch? Meaning, I want to be able to use one switch to power two voltmeters coming from two different batteries using this specific switch? Let me if it’s possible and if share some tips I would be grateful. Cheers mate.
Good video - my only question is on the rocker switch that I purchased the diagram supplied shows in center Pin should go to (in my case a autopilot) and the bottom Pin to the 12v battery. Do manufacturers change the Pins position over?
Was wiring this up for my boat and one of the switched actually came apart. Found where all the little springs and such go but there was a 12mm section of copper wire that I cannot find a use for. If you know please advise.
I want to use a switch like this but rather than having it disrupting a POS connection I want it to disrupt a NEG wire. Can you use the left sided bottom two connections for a ground instead of a positive. It sounds like the switch will not illuminate when “on” this way though. It’s two bad both LED’s dont get power from the right sided terminals. Any thoughts?
@@VideoShowMeHow no I was more thinking two switches that could control one light. I want to be able to have a switch in the cab of my car and also a switch in the canopy. Just ubit unsure on how to go about it
Great video and thanks for sharing! I installed two of these just yesterday on my car. Can I ask you how to configure them to switch off automatically the dash light when the engine is off and the car key removed? In this moment the switches take power directly from my service battery and the dash lights remain on even if the engine is off and the car closed. Thank you in advance!
Hi Adam. Great video, although I am knowledgeable of what you showed. I have the exact same 5 pin rocker switch for use on a rear work light, but to spare me running additional wires I have wired a (fused) positive to the work light, then the work light through the rocker switch to earth. So the switch is isolating ground. This works fine for the work light however the on/off icon light on the switch is reversed - when the work light is on the icon light is off and vice-versa. Do you know if/how to wire the switch for this configuration? Cheers, Dave
I think I have it! Add a relay between work light and switch. Work light (pos) to 85 and 30. 87 to Earth - will provide ground to lights when switched on 86 to pos of switch (2) Switch (8) to Earth - will complete circuit to relay and turn icon light on ....Now to put that to the test tomorrow.
Are the 4 pin switches similar? I have one with 3 pins on the left hand side and 1 pin on the right. The 3 on the left work as per your switch but the 1 on the right is a mystery to me.
do you have a video on how a 5 pin momentary switch would work. I am adding it to my 6 gang rocker panel but I keep on blowing the 5 amp fuse. I am not sure where I am going wrong.
Do you happen to have a video that shows how to hook up the rocker switches using an expandable fuse? Is that possible to do or do rocker switches have to directly get their power from the car's battery?
Hey mate, would you suggest to fuse upstream to the switch for the connected accessories? Or downstream of the switch heading towards the light/fridge etc?
Hello, how do you power the "off" light to only come on when the accessories are turned on? Have it function on/off like a normal dash lights. Do I find a fuse or tap a wire?
Hi, yes, you tap an accessories wire. Usually a few likely candidates under the dash depending on vehicle. I explain this more in the follow up video on wiring multiple rocker switches 👍
Good video - Just one point perhaps you can help me with - On the diagram supplied with the Rocker switch I purchased the battery Pin connection is the middle Pin and the bottom Pin is to be wired in my case a Auto Pilot, is this normal to change positions?
Hi Adam , i wanted to ask you in this vid if you need to use a 40 amp rated 12 volt relay with 4 pins would you not use the switch as your load to my lights witch draw about 20.0 amps, instead use a relay powered from the switch terminal # 3 load to energize the 86 + side of the relay coil and use #85 neg , then power in from battery fused to # 30 and #87 to lights ? Thank you for your help with this . Enjoy your time spent making these videos.

Nice vid. I am battling to connect a 5 pin switch to my power window. I have no idea where the motor wires go or the power wires. Can you please help me. Regards
Hi, thanks for the explanation! I have one question though: How would it be possible to wire the switch so the LED only comes on if there's actually power going through the load (as opposed to only the switch being engaged)?
I know this video is a little old but I have a quick question. How would a wire up a 12-volt device like Amber lights that work off of a wireless relay switch and also a dash flip switch. I was thinking of wiring one main wire from the device to two separate power wires one to the dash and one to the relay. Would that work. in the off chance I flip on both would that damage my lights seeing it would send 24 volts ??
My led light bar doesn't completely turn off when i hit the off position. I believed my first switch to be defective but i ordered an aftermarket one and its still doing the same thing. Any clue what it might be?
@@lovegodessmls28 you could test the switch using a test light or multimeter, switch to off and see if any power. Else could be relay. Have filmed a vid on relays how-to just editing should be out on the channel in about a week :)
Very good video. Question: do I have to pull power from the dash, which I think may require me to remove the dash to get to the power. Or can I tap into the power from another source (or place) which will light up the light on the toggle switch (and will be easier to get to)?
Hey 👋 Do you mean for the switch lights? If so doesn't have to be from the dash necessarily, just if you want them to light up with the rest of your dash lights it would have to be a power source on this circuit.
If you look at you car manual book it shows fuse box diagram and show dash night time illumination fuse so best is take the the live wire for switch from wire comes back from fuse to the dash lights to your switch . That’s what I did and worked for me perfectly, special my car has auto day/night dashboard illumination and lights switch automatically 👌🏻
Do you have a video wiring a 3 position rocker switch that is Off/On/On? My switch has 8 pins and both on selections will be back-lit with an led and this switch is being connected to a relay harness with 3 wires. I can't find a wiring diagram anywhere
hey Adam... great video...thanks a lot... btw whats the size of your electrical terminals? cant see it clearly... would like to it online as well... thanks
Hi, i need help or answer , just install one on my car with led pods, but the switch led lights staying on when the car is already off. Why is that? Or can i leave it like that or will it drain my battery overnight?
@@Santino-Tv For the switch led wire, use a dash light power source, easiest is to use an add-a-fuse to a circuit that only comes on when the engine is on our when your lights are on
Great video! Thanks for sharing, if I'm using a 5pin switch to run a ground signal, should I keep both grounds at the top and the lower right wire connected and disconnect the battery live an use that along with the output to work as the switch?

Do you have a video wiring a 3 position rocker switch that is Off/On/On? My switch has 8 pins and both on selections will be back-lit with an led and this switch is being connected to a relay harness with 3 wires. I can't find a wiring diagram anywhere
Not yet, have this a few other 12v vids planned for Jan
hey Adam... great video...thanks a lot... btw whats the size of your electrical terminals? cant see it clearly... would like to it online as well... thanks
Hi, i need help or answer , just install one on my car with led pods, but the switch led lights staying on when the car is already off. Why is that? Or can i leave it like that or will it drain my battery overnight?
@@Santino-Tv For the switch led wire, use a dash light power source, easiest is to use an add-a-fuse to a circuit that only comes on when the engine is on our when your lights are on
How do you do multiple light bars with a relay
Great video! Thanks for sharing, if I'm using a 5pin switch to run a ground signal, should I keep both grounds at the top and the lower right wire connected and disconnect the battery live an use that along with the output to work as the switch?
Thanks ✌️ Yep sounds good, just make sure battery wire is fused appropriately
Great video. Exactly what I needed for my project!
How can i wiring switch with color
yellow where i can connect what Relay no. or battery ?
Blue where should connect what relay no.?
Red where shoud connect fog light??
Black is should ground
Hey mate using a stedi kit I want use a toyota switch to fit in my spare slots could you use a fuse tap add a circuit into the 10a tail light fuse to illuminate the switch with dash lights
Yep sure could, could tap any fuse that only has power when lights are on
If the tail light fuse is 10a do I use 2 10a fuses in the add a circuit or a 10a and smaller 1 for the switch
@@anthonybagnato7894 what load is off the switch? Just the switch light?
Just the light to illuminate it I’m assuming because there 4 wires 3 from the old switch
@@anthonybagnato7894 yeah just a small fuse will be fine, will be bugger all draw
How can I wire them up so when I hit my high beams they turn on with the switch on also
Is it ground or neutral in really confused by these videos
Does every pin once wired require 12v for say a 7 pin rocker? I have 12.5 volts at my grounds but the middle pins get 1-2 volts
Yeah should once triggered? Have you got another you could test?
Thanks I had 2 wires wrong so the switch was constantly on 👍
