ARB Compressor
Here is what I have.
This is the Switch to Harness connection
QUESTION 1 - Is this correct?
Aftermarket switch ---------------- ARB HARNESS
Black ------------------------------ 2 BLACK wires
White ----------------------------- Blue/White
Red/Yel --------------------------- RED
Grn/Yel --------------------------- Red/Yel
This latter pair Red/Yel + Grn/Yel are what are switched when I press the switch. On/Off.
Switch has two lights.
1 = COMP ICON for when it's running ---- BLK+R/Y will light this COMP ICON led
2 = night identification ----- BLK+WHT will light this named device led
To be clear, I understand the above connections to be the only switch connections... iow... no branching off to connect elsewhere. They simply connect to the harness wires only.
=======
Question 2 - Is this correct?
Now the ARB harness also has two loose wires...
Blue/White I connect to GREEN dimmer wire under dash
Red/Yel I connect to Cig Lighter HOT side?
==============
Question 3
Once I get my second battery I simply connect the two fused red wires to (pos) terminal and the Black/White and thin Blk wire to (neg) terminal.
Thanks in advance. I think I have this correct. I have read every thread about 4 times and keep confusing myself with this negative switched situation.
As far as I can tell, the above scenarios are what I understand to be the way to go.
Basically my switch wires look like the others with the green connector but my wire colors were slightly different. Actually I had two red/yel so I put white heat shrink on one of them to keep things sorted.
