I'm making up a switch pack for the accessories.

So far I've got planned winch master, eas on/off, abs on/off, eas door open/ off/ closed, reverse lights on/off.

In the panel ive got 3 20a switches, 4 SPST 3a, and 2 DPDT 5a switches.

The spotlights I'll wire from a genuine switch in the manual low range spot.

I feel like I'm missing something really obvious. ..

What else have people got switched?

Gotta ask about the reverse lights on/off switch! What is the plan with that one? Haven't heard of anyone doing that before!

Eas pump running? Oil temp?

The reverse lights on the bar are really quite bright, enough to set up at tent 20m away. It wont turn on the standard reverse lights, but thought it'd be great for camping - and wouldn't need to leave the ignition on.

I've got a pressure guage to go in somewhere, and I still need to get an oil temp and sandwich plate. Still not sure where to mount it...

Eas pump on/off is a good one. Very easy too.

I have though about some sort of redundancy system. Being able to shut down the becm srs and transfer ecus. The eas ecu ive had running underwater and with the delay timer relocated it'd be fine, not sure about the transmission ecu. I believe the car should still run, not very happily, but it should still drive if the motor is going when they're shut down.

I like this post! Pics please.

I have a momentary "link aux battery to starting battery" switch works with most dual battery controllers.
and
I also have a led that shows when the EAS pump is running.

I find both handy.

Thanks, I'd forgotton about a pump led.

I could also wire up the led on the switch for the aux pump so its only on when the pump is. Im planning to use the bullbar as a tank if it's big enough with a 150psi switch on it.

The door signal to the eas turns out to be .75 volts, so won't be doing doors closed. But a switch to tell the becm the tailgate is closed when it's not I would find handy.

I've also added headlights on/off. As I want to run h.i.d. in the headlights but around town they may not be suitable. I'd still have the high beam anyway.

The current list is
Winch master
Spot lights
Headlights
Eas on/off
Abs on/off
Aux battery manual connect
Eas and aux pump on/off and leds - also the ability to join both pumps.
Eas door open
Eas brake off
Roof light (s)
Reverse light
Reverse and rear camping lights.

I've still got two switches left over, so maybe one day a reverse camera or some sort of redundancy system.
