Decided to rewire my Jeep today, here's the diagram I made

I have a push button ignition and everything except the main computer is run to a switch (the people that had it before me KILLED the electrical system)

Well I made some pretty good headway before I went to dinner.
Started with this

A really crappy switch panel
and made this

I'll post more pics once I put the switches in it. This is just temporary until I get to the stage where I put in a metal dash that I want.
Here's some pics of the wiring mess I've accumulated




Now for a tech question. I want to run a flip switch to turn on the accessories and what not just like if I were to turn the key to start her up. What wire do I need to hook up to the switch? In the pictures below, is the the wire, that I'm looking for, in the harness?


Thanks everyone!

I'm gonna convert just about everything in my 89 to be switched cause it is so rigged right now i might as well make my own harness while i'm at it.
