Has anyone relocated their Center Lock, RSCA, or AC button, next to the DAC button?

Hello all,

I am planning to relocate my center lock or RSCA button to the center console, next to the DAC button, so then I can install a light bar switch where those buttons currently are so I don't accidentally toggle them.

That said, has anyone done it? If so, how difficult was it?

I went the opposite route too (moved DAC to dash), but same philosophy applies.

Get a bunch of different color wires (the DAC harness had 4), extend each wire, reroute under dash and center console to where you want to relocate them.
 
Just like others, I too moved DAC to dash. Honestly never heard of anyone moving dash to console, but makes sense.

Same as others said, Get some wire (one color or different) cut enough to move the switch, solder them up and done.

If you use just one color wire, measure the length you need (always add more) and have enough lengths for each wire. Cut and solder each wire separately (Cut say "red" wire about 2" from switch, solder one end of new wire to red wire at switch, then solder other end of new wire to red wire going to harness) Do this with every switch wire, so you know nothing has been crossed.

Very Simple

Are the other switches, AC, center diff and/or RSCA button just 4 wires?

Haven't looked but was curious.

Yea, I figured.. There were many DAC to dash that I came across, but I just didn't want to locate my off-road accessories to the center incase I/passenger accidentaly press them without noticing...

I would also move the cut each time. I.e.: 3" from switch, next wire 4", etc. else you'll have a bukdle of splices to deal with. And if you do it with solder and heat shrink they are not much thicker than the wire itself. Use butt connections and they get fatter. Cut all at the same distance and it becomes a PITA.

I agree. I don't plan on cutting all the wires first. I'll measure and cut the wires each time I move one button.
 
BTW, I'm not an electrician at all, but could the gauge of the wire and length of the wire potentially affect the buttons ability to properly operate?
