So I've got my F650 dash ready to be installed. I've got all of the guages and switches in it and it is ready to go in the truck right after I wire it. I need to know how to wire the carling switches. If someone could tell me what each of the poles that come out of the back of them are or show me a wiring diagram, that would be great. I know that some ppl have already done this mod so maybe even a pic of yours from the back would help.

 

Depends on what switches you get and what you want them to do.

Maybe this will help

Come on guys...I really need to know how to do this.

 

Send a PM to Jim (megawatt00). He can help you I am sure.

 

Clint just let me know what model switches you have and I'll walk you through it.

 

The only numbers on the switch are 0832R. And it is 20amp 12volt.

 

Hi Clint,

Where did you purchase your switches from?

Thanks

 

hey rick if you need carling switches contact clay at riffraff diesel - 5418791052 - he is a sponsor here

 

to wire them up we need to know if they are just an on/off, on/off/on, mom/off, mom/off/on, mom/off/mom, you get the idea. And then also what you are using them for. that way I or others can help you wire them up real good.

 

They are the standard on off, and have 4 connectors on the back of them...I will post a pic tomorrow so that you guys can see what I am talking about.

 

Here is the switch... 8 is the top left. 7 is the top right. 2 is the middle left. 3 is bottom left. So the numbers go just like this 8 7
1 4
2 5
3 6
You guys may not be able to tell much from the picture, but here it is. It is the back of the switch.

 

Clint, Do these have the light on them? and do you have a multimeter?

 

Here you go Clint, sorry I didnt see this thread sooner.



now, what this diagram doesn't tell you is that you need to daisy chain your switches together, if you are running mor ethan one switch. that way you only have to have one positive wire, one ground wire, and one positive illumination wire running to one switch and then you can wire the switches in series to all use the same power and ground wires...... Clear as Mud?

#8 connects to Illum +, and then run a jumper to the #8 pole on the second switch, and a jumper to the #8 pole on the third switch.
#7 connects to ground -, and then a jumper to #7 pole second switch, and a jumper to #7 pole third switch
#2 connects to 12V+ switched power, and then a jumper to second switch #2 pole, and then jumper to third switch #2 pole.
#3 pole is your output to what ever ACC you are using the switch for. DO NOT DAISY CHAIN # 3 POLE.

 

Nice Job Brandon! I was going to have Clint ring them out. I was wondering if the LED on the top was polarity sensitive.

 

Nice write up brandon ! That should clear things up for everyone doing the 650 dash !
