TheMaestro said:From the pics, it doesnt look daisy chained, they all share a common ground, but the positive terminals look separate for each switch.
TheMaestro said:Ok so in that pic you see the eyelet thats on a wire, that wire runs down the lenghth of thw switches and is soldered at eqch one, is that correct?
No, that's itTheMaestro said:Is there another eylet on the other end running the opposite side of thebswitches?
TheMaestro said:So that wire withthe eylet acts like a bus for your switches, so when its hookedup to the + and you flick a switch, it becomes active. From the switch it goes through the red wire through the fuse, then it would seem continue through the black wire. This is the part thatnmixes me up because if the blaxk wire was red, then it would seem logical, it then goes to your device, as a + and then you hook the - of the device to a separate - bus bar. But because the wire coming out is black, its confusing.
A busbar is just a separate connection point for the negative side of the device (lights, etc) that you are running thru the switch panel. That way you only have one wire on the negative battery post that connects to the bus, instead of running everything to the battery and having a mess. Here's an example of one: Blue Seas Mini BusFirescooby said:What exactly do you mean when you say a separate bus bar? I'm at work until tomorrow morning and don't have the unit with me.
So as you understand it, the black wire would go to the positive wire for my lights, etc, and then wire the light to a wire going to the negative side of the battery?
