best thing to put a switch in for?...
 
i know fog lights and ext. light kill and fuel cutoff but what else? any other ideas? proformance style safty or anit theft it doesnt matter. just hate to have a blank cut out ya know? want to put something useful there

Project84 12-14-05 10:37 PM

Switch just for the sake of having switches? If you don't have a need for extra accessories, why add them just so you have a neat switch on the dashboard?

break lights
have them set so they come on when u press the bedal but flip the switch and they dont work any more .. helps when running from the authoritys lol

DREYKO 12-14-05 10:39 PM

i know that one, and to project 86 its the switch on the armrest near the shifter that is blanck on everyones it just pisses me off that my car has a switch place but no switch it looks so kit kinda like a toy or something with out all the parts.

Alex6969 12-14-05 11:29 PM

an expansion on downshift's idea. a switch for the parking lights. a friend of mine added the switch because his light switch didn't work. it kills every light (dunno about breaks) except for the headlights when their on. very useful for po po avoidance. but you didn't hear it from me ;)

electric fan? i have both of the blanks with switches, one is for me e-fan wich i hardly ever use, and one is blank for now. i was actually going to use it for a P.A. system later on, lol

a switch for the ftp mod . thats what i did ran the wire from the stock switch to a switch in the blank then from the switch in the blank to a ground . now my my headlights turn on with out going up and shine through the ftps and when i want my headlights on and up turn the switch off and turn the headlights on like normal . .

how about a switch thats wired to another switch that switches off an on that switch, hell you could pile up like 5 of em, damn, i need to go to bed.

Alex6969 12-15-05 08:37 AM

that ftp mod sounds very interesting. i would like to see in action. does anyone have a pic of them?

X-JaVeN-X 12-15-05 08:43 AM

a self-destruct switch. Very useful switch. I use mine on a regular basis.

oakback 12-15-05 08:50 AM

It's all about how you label. Just make it a switch to turn on a red LED in the dash, and label it "death to passenger." Someone will eventually ask what it does, then say "you'll see..." and flip the switch.

Fuel pump cut
Foglights
Brake lights (to flash them at tailgaters without actually slowing down)

arron cake
would the waning beep still come on to tell you the lights on if you forget?

Aaron Cake 12-15-05 10:56 AM

Nope. Which is why I recommend that the relay be connected to IGN or ACC so that it will turn on and off automatically.

DREYKO 12-15-05 11:24 AM

worked perfectly, might try to tap it into an existing switch that will beep. any ideas?

Mordachai 12-15-05 12:41 PM

well, you could put one in and label it

'Ejector seat' or 'fire missile' or 'oil slick'

LMAO

Um, why not just leave it empty?
If you have a system in your car, you could put a rheostat in there that would control the bass level, that way, when pulling up to the light, you can TURN DOWN! your bass(unless you're 17 and like to show off)


Or put mad neon under your car...
That's the hotness...

water/alcohol injection on/off switch

jono20 12-15-05 06:53 PM

Ive always wondered how to wire up one of the switches that disable all the lights. Brakes, blinkers, everything. Is there one relay somewhere that controls them all?

Aaron Cake 12-16-05 09:04 AM

All this wiring is in the back of Haynes manual, and in the factory service manual.

Alex6969 12-16-05 09:35 AM

your parking lights run on a single circut so a switch there would cut all side markers, fronts markers, tail lights and licence plate lights. the blinker wire runs around there somewhere, i\'m not sure. but yea a switch on that circut will cut the parking lights
