Roxor Panel Switch

[Day Radebaugh]

I run an ag sprayer off the battery with a little inline toggle switch in my Roxor. I'd like to wire this rig into a panel switch on the dash.

Anyone know of a source of a rocker switch that will fit into one of the 6 places for panel switches?

Thanks

Just found Rocker Switch Pros, who appear to have any switch you could want.

I have a number of these switches for front, side, rear, and dome lights. They fit right into the openings after you remove blanks and are easy to wire (indicator on or off).

to remove blanks, my technique was to take a 1/2” or bigger drill bit and drill through the blank:
45 degrees up and down, that destroys the tabs that hold the blanks in place. Takes second to pull a blank that way.

I purchased some switches from Rocker Switch Pros. Now the next step: is there a how-to guide on the wiring harness and how to wire the switches (on this forum or elsewhere)?

I don't know about the wiring harness, but that depends on what you want to do. In my case, to power my sprayer, I simply installed leads on the battery and took them to the sprayer. The panel switch would be wired directly from the battery as well, and allow me to switch it on and off.

Don't know what you're trying to accomplish, but I wouldn't mess with the wiring harness unless there was no simpler way to do it. Aren't those things considered delicate, with respect to the panel gauges?

@Driftless:
Description on blinkers are on the forum. Everything else depends on what you want to do.


I also suggest to run your own wires. Depending on what is already installed from the factory, there may / not be open circuits behind the switch blanks.
I’ve seen some rats nests with wire nuts, electrical tape, and different color wiring in cars.

To run your own wire, some suggestions:
1. Install a fuse block in the passenger door compartment (I can share what I used). (a) Wire it to the battery. (b) Or run a relay from the cigarette lighter block to have your power block turn on with the ignition.
2. Run wire from the fuse block to switches and accessories. Now you know what wire gauge you have, what wire runs where. You can trouble shoot.
3. Get some Tesa fabric loom tape to wrap your cable tree.
