Hey Skippa- I think I've decided to light up my ballast switches. Can you share the how to with me?

This was something I sent someone else, let me know if you have any other questions:


I am guessing you already have your switches? If not I can tell you where I got mine. If you look some of the factory switches have the diodes. Another TO was the one that actually told me that I needed them. I went to Radio Shack and got these http://www.radioshack.com/product/in...erValue=Diodes I used the the 1N4004 ones, they are labeled on the black barrel. You have to look to see which way to put them on, if I recall it is with the gray line on the end that would be furthest from the source.

Terminals are
8. 7
1. 4(no terminal)
2 5(no terminal)
3. 6

Terminal 8 goes to terminal 8 on your existing switches to light up the square lens when your nav lights are on.
Terminal 7 goes to ground.
Terminal 1 goes to your empty pump.
Terminal 2 is 12 volt power from your power source.
Terminal 3 goes to your fill pump.
Terminal 6 is connected to terminal 1 and 3 thru a diode to light up the bottom strip light when the switch is turned on in either direction.

I put a piece of heat shrink around the diodes so they would not touch. It looks like the factory did something similar.

Let me know if you have any other questions. If you look in my ballast thread there might be more info and pics.

Don't want to pour in the rain.

I should hire you to pour it and then we could surf after

[skippabcool]

About 8 yards

Almost a 1st down

[lancehon]

I'm just doing the grunt and prep work but not pouring

[lancehon]

Almost a 1st down

Dangerously close

We shoot for 110 yards an hour but it is usually evens out to about 85 to 90.
