P1000 Wiring multiple rocker switches and volt meter.

[bigr244]

Newb here at wiring up the accessories switches. I have been researching youtube and this site for weeks. I think I have most of what I need on order or delivered.
Sticking with one battery at this point. Can anyone help me as to how the wiring should look for the below. I have one 7pin, two 4pin, two 5pin, 1 voltmeter, 1, usb and have also purchased a blue seas fuse block. I wont have a winch for a few months and I am only wiring up a light bar and radio at this point. That said I want to have everything linked together so once I rivet in my switch plate it wont need to come back out.
I have seen videos on making a daisy chain for multiple switching. I am just confused on what pins are what and what needs to be direct from 12v source and what can be from the accessory fuse if I splice in.

Thank you,

Hi,
We are going to need more info on your switches. Did you buy Amazon specials or Carling switches? Do you have pin layouts? Link for each maybe?

There is not many how-to's on building a full switch plate. And what you find will be different as there are about 4 different ways to do it depending on what you need.

We will try to help but it will get confusing i'm sure.
You need to tackle it in 2 or 3 steps in any order really.
Step 1 - Ground pins
Step 2 - Switch backlighting power pins
Step 3 - The accessory in and out pins

Also, If you are running an accessory using 15 amps or more I will recommend a relay. Thats another step.
Ok. Good luck lol.
Recommend finding a friend.

Thanks for the reply. So here is what I'm working with. I have done some wiring in this past so not afraid to tackle this. Hope this helps.

Ok.
I can help with 3 of them.

On this one.
The + Power source should be fused from the fuse block.
The + device will be the actual accessory +
The - Power source. Could be jumped if it is a small draw item like a dome light. Otherwise, I would direct ground it.
The - Device will be the actual accessory -

What can you find on the winch pin layout?
I will assume the top single pin is ground maybe?

That helps.
I guess what I'm struggling with is I see the YouTube videos and it appears jumping from switch to switch with one main ground and positive is common. If that makes any sense. Checkout this screen shot. Best video I have seen on this type of thing.

Theae are about the only ones I would jump.
Now if the 2, 4 pin are low draw items I might jump the ground to them also.

Yellow is switch lower lighting and should be key-on power.

Oh ya. I've done a few. All same style switch tho.
The 4 pins is messing it up. Lol.

So if I replace the 4s with 5s that makes a difference?

The 4 pins want separate grounds. That's all. 4 pin is actually easier to wire up as its both (+ & -) in and (+ & -) out.

Tell us what you plan to use the 4 pin switches for? What accessory?
If its only a 1 or 2 amps then you can jump them.

Rear led pods and probably a dome if some type.

Dome, I would jump the ground also,
Pods you need to know watts/amps. But most likely only 2 or 3, In that case, I would jump the ground source if it was me.
You can jump the backlights differently also so they match the fuse.
Once sec.

 

[Hondasxs]

Ok. This is how I would do it. Assuming the 4 pins are low draw (2 amps+-)

Green is ground.
All colored wires going off the page can be fused.

Usb/volt. I can not see which side is + or - so dont use drawing.

Forgot. Circles are the actual accessory hookup or relay trigger.

This is why I bought a honda. Great helpful people.

Reading about relays now.

So don't jump any direct power? Just run to fuse? Can they all be on 1 15amp

Well, that depends on what you are willing to accept.
The purpose of fuses is to isolate each (or at least a group) of accessories from each other. So if one shorts out the other still work.

Hondas system on the Talon has all accessories on 1, 50a fuse. So if one item shorts you lose everything. I don't like that.
If you are pressed for fuses, I would group what you can live without and individual what you cant. IE, Winch.
The Dome is not important and very very low draw, You can jump that if you want with the USB/volt to save trouble.

Rear lights and front bar I would fuse separately.
Winch I would tie into key-on power using the factory ACC fuse.

@bigr244 I would recommend installing 1 relay for each accessory. The power supplying the accessory will come from the relay and the rocker switch will trip or allow power to the relay. The relay power comes from the blue seas fuse box. I use 30 amp relays and the recommended fuse size for the accessory being powered through the relay. I would daisy chain all power from the switch power and also daisy chain all grounds.
