Mystic made my plate and it has 8 switch slots and I'm going to fill them all....lol. It's funny I have wired the top 4 switches in the panel and it's like High School algebra and calculus.... once you figure it out it's easy. I was racking my brain trying to figure the wiring out. All I can say to someone doing this is JUMPER wires are your friend.

The guys on here are your "friend" too. There isn't many things that come up that THEY can't figure out. Don't be bashful about asking questions.

Dang I'm sorry to hear that. But if it makes you feel better, the switches look great. Get the door fixed so you can finish the install.

Door took it the worse, 1 gouge in the front and some scratches that might buff out. $700.00 mistake should be back in business this afternoon.

Wanting to wire up mictuning dual usb charger to 20amp contra v 5 pin rocker. Would like key on power to bottom of switch when pioneer is on. But want to use the switch to turn USB port on when pioneer is off. Mainly for charging cell phones while machine is off.
