Thread: Wiring up ARB style sealed rocker switches - wiring diagrams??

Hi all

I am starting installing a centre console in my 300Tdi project. I have a number of ARB style LED rocker switches with back lighting to install but despite searching for ages have had no luck finding the wiring diagrams that I need. As i have mentioned here in a number of different threads vehicle electrics and I do not see eye to eye.

I will be installing four 4 pin switches which I think I have sussed. Working on my test bench anyway (back-lite illumination and dash light), so that a bonus. I am trying to find a diagram for a wash/wipe 6 pin switch, so this has three positions, momentary on (wash), off and on (wiper). The original wash /wipe switch only has 4 wires... There is also a 5 pin switch for battery monitoring.. this has three positions also. on off on and will be connected to a VDO volt gauge.

Can anyone help with a diagram for the last two in particular bearing in mind I find this stuff pretty challenging?

Thanks in advance..

I spent hours yesterday trying to get the switch "on" led's on my new bank of Carling rocker switches to work without success.
I now know that there are two earths (one for each led) that have to be connected and a jumper to power the light.
Thanks for the information. It has "illuminated" the solution perfectly !!
