Toggle Switch?

**Farmboy444** · #1 (**permalink**) 01-24-2008, 10:28 AM

Ive got 4 toggle switchs in my truck to run misc things such as 2 fog on the rear bumper, air horn, front fogs, and amber floor lights. Currently the switches are mounted right above the transfer case lever, hard to get to. If anyone has a better idea on where to put them im up for it. This is my slow time of the year so i tinker with my truck alot.

I have made a panel out of aluminum to mount switcheds in a '99 SD's storage compartment under the steering wheel. You could try something like that.

I have my fog/driving light switch and exhaust brake switch beside the WTS light.

Here is my auxiliary light switch.

I also used this at one time for strobes. It takes some Dremel work and careful planning to make sure you don't interfere with things in the dash.

P.S. Do you have a pic of your floor lights farm boy? That sounds like a cool idea!

Here's some I fabbed up for an oversize escort vehicle, in that seemingly useless storage pocket. Switches were rated for only 2A, so they were driving relays for the large loads (which is a good idea to avoid running a heap of high current wires through the firewall) Sorry about the crappy pic, but it's a scan of an old photo
