Guys, I haven't forgotten you. Have been extremely busy.

Do plan to get back onto truck project tomorrow and will pull dash as promised to show backside of switches.

Will also try to compile the list of part numbers required to pull this deal off. I have a lot of extra stuff to return so I have to sort keep vs. return and then document the numbers for you all.

Carling switch source

I just bought Carling switches from a TDR member from AK - -- email address removed -- is his email address.

He also sent me this link:

Prices were good and shipping was fast. Great product. I'm mounting mine (engine brake and compressor) in the cubby to the right of the HVAC controls.

You're doing us an awesome service by sharing all this great info. Thank you, thank you.

I'm Rv'g now with a 5th wheel & stopped planning on truck mounted access. for lack of good looking switch mounts. I've got my aux. tank pmp & Banks Brake switches 'stuck' in the lower dash panel on my '04 3500.



Now I can plan to add aux lights at the RV wheels to keep from running over bushes at night! This then brings up a related question: Where can I obtain "key fob" type transmitters for wireless control of some RV functions like aux. backup lights, side lights above the wheels, etc.

Ok, here are a few pictures showing the curvature of the dash panel. Should be about the same amount of curve as the 03-05's have. As you can see, the switches are snugged together out front but there is plenty of space between the terminals on the back.

Works out perfectly.



Fourth picture is the harness with plugs that I made for the switches. Don't pay any attention to the black wires hanging all over the place, those will be where they belong in the morning.

Darn I can not use the mounting spot as I have heated seats and sliding window.

I have heated seats also but with 2 blank switches between them I wonder if there is something to replace them with? Shadrach
