I have an 87 Jeep Cherokee Laredo. I am thinking about getting a switch box for a couple of my accessories. (electric fan override, driving lights, CB Radio) I was thinking of either buying or making a switch box for these. I have a slight problem though. I do not know how to wire up a box that requires only one power wire and one ground wire for multiple switches. I know that I could run a power and ground wire for each switch, but that seems overkill and a waste, really. Does anybody know of a box that you can buy or one that I could build with multiple switches and one power and one ground? Currently I have a box (built from a radioshack project box) with one switch for my electric fan. My CB and driving lights are not hooked up yet. Wiring is not really my specialty, so I thought I would ask about doing multiple switches. Thanks.

Read everything fitch has on his website about switches, relays, switch box construction, wiring and how to build a modular relay box with internal fuse panel. It will get you going in the right direction. All you will need is a pocket full of $$ and a local Radio Shack

This might be overkill for what you want, but this is what I am doing in my 88...

With all the new wiring, all the accessories, and this dislike for exposed relays...I am making a new wiring harness.

A second relay box, just for accessories? That sounds like a good idea!
