G'day all,

As the title states 'I need some helpies'. I have the basic principle of wiring things together. What has me stumped is what lead needs to go into what port on the back of the ARB switch.

What I have is:
LED Lightbar from eBay. (2 wires, black/red)
ARB switch from them. (5 pins at the back of the switch)
40amp wire loom from supercheap auto. (wire everywhere)

I was about to install it tonight, until I took a closer look at the back of the arb switch and found more connections than i need. The supercheap switch has 3 wires coming out of it.

Basically, what goes where please & if you have pretty pics to help me, that would be super.

I was trying to upload images, but they are tooo big, sorry

The way you can best help us help you: pics.

If you have a smartphone, it's easy.
If not, maybe set the camera to take small pics 640x480 or similar.

Easy as mate

2 switches 3 so positive to pin 2
Pin 3 is positive to 40amp relay to power the light air Red wire
6 is the dash light illumination
7 & 8 are both earth.

The ARB switch has 2 sides therefore 2 earths.

7 is the earth for 2&3
8 is the earth for 6

2 switches 3
6 is lights
7 & 8 are earth.

Blue goes to pin 2
White goes to pin 3
Black goes to pin 7 & 8
Source a dash light circuit from you ashtray light or cig light or dash light and the positive side of that goes to pin 6

You need to draws up a pic with photoshop or paint and number and label the pins and make a sticky Darren. I reckon many come unstuck when they see the amount of pins on the back of ARB switches.
