I'm running a basically stock jeep but I'm sick of looking at those 2 empty slots where switches could be on my dash. What random electronics could be wired to a switch and effectively used.

I already know:

Winch
Aux. Lights



so what else my friends?

 

Um, anything you want to turn on and off? Hell, that's even a good place to put a momentary NO rocker to have a start switch separated from the key (or a KILL switch for the igniton or fuel pump...)

Anything that wants more than 500mA runs best on a relay, but that's easy enough to wire.

A winch might be a bit much. I know they go through solenoids, but you have to make sure you've at least got a DPDT switch so you can reverse power on the winch motor - and I think you'd be forced to go through the aftermarket to get a DPDT that fits there (I don't know how original you want things to look...)

 

Aux. fan over ride, maybe?

locker switches?

 

i am in the middle of this project right now myself, i made my own switch plate that will have 6 switches for the spot thats in front of the shifter. Master switch that would have to be ON to be able to have the lights, (bumper, roof lights out side and inside, and an A/C OBA conversion that i have yet to do) the final switch is for the 2 Ford taurus fans that i hope are guna fit in front of the radiator, that switch wont be controlled be the master switch

 

any more ideas?

 

neon! electronic cloaking device? radar?

 

flux capacitor

 

a what?

 

fusion core

 

+1, just don't wire it backwards like I did a few months ago.

 

I'v enever wired mine backwards, what does it do? Send the FC through time without you?

 

oh i did that. then you have to reset the computer. might have burnt out my sloan valve too.

 

The flux capacitor is what makes the time machine work in Back To The Future.... duh!

 

You can get one at O'Rreilly's, pretty reasonable price considering what it does. Just make sure you wire it through a relay.
