Righto,

Finally getting down to wiring in my Raptor Dash got a electrical question about the Hazard Switch.

Ideally I would like to wire the current hazard switch into the toggle switch but there are many wires behind there.

Is it even possible?

Josh.

not sure wot you mean
A hazard switch has to keep both flasher circuits seperate untile its switched elles one side will back feed the other :crazy_driver:

Yeah I thought as much.

What trying to say is. I want to remove the current land rover hazard switch and re-wire it into an on/off toggle switch.

What an excellent site. Yet many options!!

Cheers mate.

Edit -

Found this - http://uk.farnell.com/multicomp/mcr13-44b-05/switch-toggle-4pdt-on-on-so/dp/2128060

Think that would do the trick for the Hazards?

I have a plan B

switch on your hazard switch, tuck it in the dash and control the perminant feed with your toggle switch.




Or buy one off that site :crazy_driver:

That sounds like a good idea. I am moving it into a Raptor dash, but its a custom design with engraving so the Hazard has to be a toggle switch in this one place.

Is it literally as easy as switching on the hazard and taking a feed off it to the toggle?
