[QUOTE="Al U Minium, post: 414802, member: 20945"] To serve all switches with just one wire it would have a larger wire, perhaps a #10 or a #8. Using 2 wires of a smaller size, the wires can be tied together and fed from one source (of a larger wire size). Doing it this way for the manufacturer keeps the costs down as only one size crimp connector and wire size is used. A tip here; if the switches are not marked as you like, Brother label maker using TZ tape can be used to cover the markings. The tape will stand up to years of exposure to sun, rain, ice, heat and won't peal off until you want it too. Comes in colors and clear. So for a black switch with white letters, get the black tape with white letters. Make the font size like the original and it will look great. [/QUOTE]
