If you comfortable cutting your dash like I did mine. I mounted 2 to the left of the steering wheel where warning labels were, one next to headlight and 4x4 switches and 3 on other side of gauge cluster. Looks factory IMO.

 

Thats what I was thinking. I have no problem cutting the switches in. The only thing I have to look into in that area is there is now one of two amps mounted right there. Not sure when I put that dash piece back on I would have the proper clearance for the wires coming off those new switches

 

I needed a few more switch than any after maker solution offered so I made my own from a Aluminum street sign. It is a little time consuming but worth it.

 

I have been using switch panels from Outdoor Logic. I put two switches to the left of the wheel like Dro727RZR. They really firm up the dash and make a solid point for the switches to mount into. When I got my dash for my Interactive display it came with 3 cutouts on each side of the display. I think my old dash had two on each side.

 

I got some plates from amazon for $25 to get 3 switches on each side of the speedo. Then I bought Polaris new switch panel for under the dry storage that adds 5 more switches I got this for $30 from their website.

 

Like that switch panel from polaris. Pretty sure this wasn't available when I started adding switches to mine. Awesome solution that would have save'd me a ton of time. They clearly noticed there was a need!

 

Thanks guys. Where did you get the polaris switch panel Jamillikan? Thats nt a bad little option right there. I like how they have knock outs so you don't have open slots if you only use a switch or two in the beginning

 

Yeah I like the knock outs too they make things a lot easier. I got the panel from Polaris's website Item #2881987 it will be under new accessories. You can google "polaris item 2881987" and it will be at the top of the list.

 

Daystar Products offers a 5 switch panel that you can clamp to the roll bar. It has places for 5 switches and comes with rocker switches in different colors.

 

I took a little different approach. Used the additional 2 cutouts on right of guage, relocated the key switch and power outlet and replaced with switches, and added a switch to either side of the storage box. Still may add 2 to the left of the steering, but not much room behind the panel for wire connector blocks so will have to use female spades. Thought I had a pic available but can't seem to find it. will add a pic this wknd.

 

We have switch panels in various configurations cut from real carbon fiber or HDPE. Shoot me a pm if you guys have any questions. They look pretty killer once installed.

 

They look nice, but your website navigation needs work. "Switchplates" link came up with a blank page. I'm not going to spend the time to try and find them.

 

Thats what Im thinking.....$30 for that is a great solution

Wiring the switches will be easier than doing it crammed in the dash against my amps

 

Absolutely! That's the way I'd go now!

 

So now Im starting to learn about switches. I realize now that I want 4 pin switches. I personally like to run constant power to my accessories. I don't want to have to use the ignition key to have to power anything on. But I also like switches that will illuminate when the key is on for at night when I want to look down and see which switch does what. Then when I hit the switch it powers up that accessory and lights up the top half of that switch.

I bought a switch recently with 3 pins which to my understanding will only light up when flipped on. So for me, acc power to illuminate the switch for night, but constant power to the switch as well for that accessory even if vehicle switch is off

I want to run the stereo but don't need the vehicle also draining power...

Make sense right?

 

Hey Gary,

There are, as they say, many ways to skin a cat.

The standard Carling 2 led rocker that comes with some Polaris accessories and harnesses is a 5 terminal switch. (See wiring diagram here.) You can get them, in multiple color variations, as well as many other configurations, at otrattw.net. For example, in addition to On-Off switches, I have an [On]/Off (Momentary) for a start switch and an [On]/Off/[On] for winch control. Like you, I like to be able to use accessories without the ignition switch on, but I like having the ability to ensure everything is off when I tuck her in. I have a locking On-Off switch I'll use to control accessory power. Lots of options.

 

Like lakeman said there are many ways to wiring the switches. You need a five pin for what you want and you will either use the leds ground or power wire to kill your led when the ignition is off. The way I did it is my switches have power when the key is on and 30 secs after it is off. I also put in a switch to override that and give power to all my aftermarket switches. This is easy to do with a fuse block and 2 relays.

 

Sorry 5 pin for double led 4 for single led switches.

 

Anyone know of a momentary winch rocker switch that will backlight the pic of the winch with key power?

 

I got mine from otrattw. (V8D2U66B)Each led is independent so they can be wired to come on with anything you want. I have all of mine (bottom LED)come on with the key and the top when the switch is turned on except the turn signal switch which flashes when on.

Larsonator,
I'm not exactly sure exactly what you are looking for, but you can get just about any configuration of rocker switch you'd like from OTRATTW (See my post above).
I have a dual LED On-Off rocker for winch control power. The lower LED is connected to ACC power so it lights with the key, but the switch power is always on so I can use the winch without turning on the RZR. Turning on this switch provides power to an [On]-Off-[On] control switch and the remote connector.

 

Thats exactly what I want and was trying to explain. You did it with 100 less characters...lol

Ordered my new switches and hope to have my wiring project wrapped up very soon. A few months ago I knew nothing about stereos/amps/eq's, 12 volt relays and different ways to switch things. Im still no professional but boy Iv come a longggggg way

Thank you for all your feedback guys

I think I'm looking for a three led momentary rocker. The middle led would light up with key power and the other two would light up when winching in that direction.

 

Never seen a three LED version and I don't think it is an option since the rocker/roller arm is in the middle and rocks between the contact points.

 

I need to look at the switch again and see if I can just wire the upper and lower led's (IN and OUT) to the key so they're just on all the time instead of only lighting up when activating the winch.

On those bare switches from otrattw is it easy to put the rocker cover on and off?

 

Some switches you can do that just make sure to get the right configuration. To get the cover off you can buy the tool from otrattw.net/ for like $2 but a small flat head screw driver works good too.

 

Covers are easy to change, I use a dental pick or really small screwdriver to pry the outside tabs out one at a time and lift the faceplate of the pivot pins.

 

I just added two water resistant switches to the left side dash board.

Measure the position, drill a 3/4" hole push them in. opcorn:opcorn:

Can you play Space Invaders with those too?

Just kidding! Nice simple solution. ;-)
