Yet another auxilary switch question...
Does anyone know if there is actual power coming off the back of the switches themselves? I would like to run power to my radar detector, that would be a nice and close power supply.

I hooked up my air bag compressor this weekend to Aux switch #1. It was very simple to do. I found the wires on the driver side up near the firewall, pulled out the brown/green wire, which is the Aux #1 switch, and spliced my hot wire to it. Previously I was hooked directly to the batter with a fuse and then grounded to the battery as well. I left the ground on the battery and since the Aux switches are already fused at the black fuse box above where the blunt end wires are located I did not need my inline fuse.
It was very simple and took me about 20 minutes. The Aux 1 switch is only hot when the ignition is on but for what I need, I don't need it hot all the time.
