I have a new clutch kit ready to install but wanted to figure this out first. So if my flywheel checks out ok as far as no cracks for deep grooves, Il be ok with a simple sand sanding?

I have a Dirtbound Offroad six switch panel in my MJ, in place of my ashtray. Each switch is a basic two-prong On/Off. I currently have my bed lights wired to one, and I want to wire interior lights and my e-fan to two of the others.
What would be the best way to wire the setup?
The extent of my electrical knowledge is crimping. The only way I know to do it would be to run each hot wire to battery with an inline fuse, and each ground to a point. I know there has to be a better way.

When do you want the lights to come on? Like anytime, ignition or what? And then to make the e fan come on check out my write up in my sig ( if your on the app should be on the first page of write ups) and then I'll try to help you come up with something... Did the MJ come with an e fan?

Also, the interior lights are not yet installed. I'll be running new wires for them.

should you be running the wires to the battery, I recommend using one of the fun boxes from radioshack.. cant remember its exact name but theres a few write ups online for it.

You could kind of make a power distribution center up under there for that kind of thing but you would need big big wire like battery cable size and then determine how many amps everything draws

Here it is, knew I had a pic of mine somewhere. One large 0/1 aug heavy duty line in (Way overkill, but thats how I like it) and around 10 lines out one of which is my 4 gauge amp wire. Have got a big bolt as big around as the 0 gauge in the box to connect it all together. Makes things very clean and easy access.

And you got that from RadioShack? Hmmm might go look in a little bit because I need to fix all my wiring especially now that I'm getting a degree in it lol it works and it's safe just not professional

Theres a write up on it I could find if my phone would let me get on anything buy cf right now.. They're also used to make a relay box, They can really clean up your battery terminal by a good bit..And mine fits on top of the battery even with an oversized battery that doesn't fit in the tray..
