P1000 Controls for accessories...What's everybody using?

[GHT]

As implied in the title, what control mechanism is everyone using to control lights and accessories? I've looked at several different options on Amazon and just not sure which will hold up and which ones to stay away from. Here's a couple I've looked at:

This was discussed before. I do not have nor have any experience with it. But it’s priced right and no worries replacement warranty.

Accessory Power Control Module (Rocker Switch x 6)

Our all new power control module makes wiring and installation a breeze. Save hours of splicing wires and wiring switches with our plug and play system. Hook to your battery, ground and ignition power source then place your switches were you like and plug them into the harness.

I pieced mine together with the components that fit my application. I'm not a tech guy so I went with separate relays and fusing to make future trouble shooting easier for me. Here's my hillbilly schematic.i attempted to run each circuit one at a time on the machine and it looked like s*** quickly. I sat down and drew this out and studied it for a few days making corrections until I couldn't find any other issues. I used this and a few quick measurements for wire length to each accessory then pulled the wire out and made the harness on the bench. It made it easy to bench test all switches and relays. I wrapped it up as well as I could and installed it in my pk1. Since I've had a relay and switch die. Both were easily trail diagnosed and with a little planning I had both parts for two separate failures. I like the idea of the self contained deal but I tend to stick with what I know. Good luck with the build.

I ordered a custom-fit switch panel that replaces the ugly warning placard from PBR Products. I then ordered all the switches directly from otrattw and grabbed waterproof relays, fuse panel, connectors, etc from Amazon. It takes more time to wire it all up but I got exactly what I wanted. It's a WiP (Just got my rig last week!) but here is a picture:

Those are JUNK very low quality knock offs of the high end stuff.

Might be fine in a cabin or something where theres no vibration and its not getting rained on but everyone I know that has used them has regretted it.

I went with the cheaper of the two and I'll have to say, it seems to be a quality item, we will see....
