Is this too much wiring involved? START YOUR MACHINE FROM YOUR PHONE!! Simplify things with a switchpros. check out this video I made. th-cam.com/video/czlVK4JO6CA/w-d-xo.html
Start your machine from your phone??? This I have got to watch! That sounds awesome!
@glifeutv did u ever make the wiring video for the rzr 200 efi?
When running multiple toggle switches for multiple devices do they need individual relays too??? Thx
@@bigblock-wz4bb with traditional rocker switches yes
probably the best UTV video there is if youre tired of buying $30+ harnesses from retailers. awesome video!!
Thank you so much! I was stumped on my light switch. I could not get it to work. I found your video and greatly appreciate you making it.
Glad I could help!
Am I the only one cracking up how he says wiiiiire... Awesome love it good job
Great video. It help me with some wiring I didn't have in the correct order. Thank you.
This is possibly the most helpful video I have ever watched!
🤜🤛🍻
Damn, dude! If someone can't wire up some switches after watching this video, they should re-take fist grade. Most comprehensive, clear, and concise how-to I've ever seen. Well done! 👍
🙏 thank you
Extremely well explained and very simple to follow thank you
Glad it was helpful!
nice video! if you use your cordless drill to twist the wires together it makes it even easier it is to route, cover , etc...
Good tip!
Should use marine grade tined copper for outdoor use
Great info as this is confusing for someone like me that does not do this much. The question I have it this, the blue and white wire goes where? You said it, but I kind of wanted to see it to understand better. If you could give a little explanation I would appreciate it. Great video and really helped to clear all of it up, with the exception of the blue and white wire.
Awesome Video, you showed so many tricks and little things that will make my wiring much better. Great, simply great video
Thank you, i appreciate it
This is great. Perfect for what I needed to know. Great job!!
🤜🤛🤙
Your work is so clean!!! I love it thanks for the videos!
🙏thanks bro👍👍
Solid video for when I need to wire some new switches! 👌 if I want to swap out a rocker switch for one that looks oem do I need to rewire anything or is it plug and play since there's already a switch there just want to swap out the rocker itself ?
Hey id love to know what gauge wiring you are using in video and where on amazon did you order wiring from? Also, what size fuse do I use for in between. I am new to this. You did an amazing job in the video i am IMPRESSED. Only things missing is the two questions i need to know
Great video, it explained the process well. I have a question, I’m installing 4 rear lights on my 2022 Commander. Can all 4 be wired to the same switch or do I need two switch’s. I’d like to hit one switch and have all four come on at once. Thank you
So this may sound dumb but I didn’t see where you would put the ground wire from the accessory your powering. Did you just run it back to the bus bar?
Nice job explaining thanks
Just 1 question... did you leave out the wiring that came with the light because of that relay?... mine has a relay like that and i think when used with the ugly switch it won't turn the light back on right away if it's hot/been on already
I’ve accidentally bought a couple of 4 pin switches and I can’t ever make it to where one of the lights on the switch comes on when the accessory is off. The 5 pin is the way to go!!
🤟🤟
The last 2 extra wires you have, do you split those into 4 or where exactly do they go?
I'm having trouble. How do I wire the switch from my Polaris ranger pulse bar which has three wires red (constant hot) ,yellow (hot when ignition is on), black (ground) to the 5 pin switch where the light on the switch and the power to the switch is off when the ignition is off and lights up when the ignition is on and works... basically like a stock switch. Please help!!!
Can I use the yellow wire from the pulse bar (hot when ignition is on) to run to my switch as positive like you state in the video, I know on the Ranger forum some said something about using a relay and that using the yellow wire can blow a fuse or something but I don't see why it would. Please please help.
So if I got some SD Lighting mirrors and I wanted to tie them in to the OEM light switch, which what color wire is the high beam?
Any recommendations on how to hook up a whip light to 8 rock lights that I only use 4 of the lights. I'm trying to run them both off the same app.
U should of run 5150 187 whips with 5150 187 rock lights . Sync together
How much do you charge to wire up a front light bar whip lights and a chase light on my rzr pro xp4? And where are you located?
I want to see a pic of your dash at night. I like the way you wired so the light is alway on but wonder how bright it would be. It seems like it would be just a ton of bright ass light's bugging you
Send me a dm on ig or fb.. j can show u a pic of the dash. Its not bright at all.. i dont event notice the lights
Great job, now I can do it right!
👍👍
Hey brother I saw your video on the switch pros it was dope but I ain't got those deep pockets like CJ. I saw a generic veresion on Amazon it had good reviews for like 150.00. Do you have any thoughts.
If you are talking about the aux beam version.. there are many things i didn't like about it.. i would save up for the 8 switch. Its worth it over the aux beam
Your local to me bro , and I always see you out at Johnson valley , anyway , I have all the lights for my x3 mounted , I just need them wired in etc , do you do wiring and how much ? I need done ASAP
I do, send me a dm on instagram
How do I get my switch power to only be activated when I turn the key to acc or on? I installed a light, but it can turn on /off without keys. I’m worried my kids will mess with my lights when I’m not around and drain the battery
Its on this video. U wire to the accessory post on the can am power distribution.
@@GLifeUTV I have a can am defender. I don’t know where the accessory connection is. I only see a positive and negative on the buss bar
I have a rough country light bar that has a day time running light and a normal light. Going to the switch (which has the option to turn on the amber, torn off, and turn on the light bar) there is a White, Red and Blue cable. Does anyone know what color is what cable?
Use a 12v battery to find the wire u are looking for
I wired my lights the exact same on my 21 rc turbo rr and i can only get them to turn on the vehicle is running. You hooked them up to the accessory also but everything is light up without the unit running. Is their an accessory mode in the vehicle other than run?
I have another switch on my personal x3. Thats why that look different. Did not mention that in this video because it can drain the battery... ..also with the key in the car.. u can short press it and it will stay on for a bit
Awesome video man. I just installed some accessories and switches by following your video but the back lights for the switches stay on all the time is it supposed to be that was or do I have to cut the power jumper to the light and run that to accessory key on so it dont constantly drain the battery?
The power should be coming from your accessory post not the battery positive
What would you consider low amperage and how you determine what gauge wiring you need?
@frankglife
So I know this vid is old but I’ve got a question for you. Is there a way to wire up my whip lights for example to be able to turn out without the key (hot all the time) but in doing so the switch wants to stay lit all the time too. So how do I fix that?
?
Only way I can see that’d be possible is, looking at back of the switch, with your grounds still at the top, you’d have to run battery power to single middle post, and then switched power out to device on post below that. Could run separate key switch acc power to lower right pin so lower indicator would still come on with key.
Very informative...quick question. I have 4 sets of led lights each pulling no more than 3.4 amps x 4 = 13.6amps combine...what is the best way to run these to one switch or separate switch and using an 20amp in line fuse holder. Thanks.
3.4 amps? Are these led pods. If so the trigger wire coming off these switchs can be used to trigger a conventional relay harness to power led pods
@@GLifeUTV LEd underglow lights, interior, and engine/Grill LEd lights. Can these be run into one rocker switch 20amp 12V ...also the in line fuse holder will have a 20 amp fuse...they are not pods
Well the switchs are rated for 20amp. But the guage of wire im using in the video is small. So u can Probably fo 16guage wire and power the leds thru the switch
@@GLifeUTV yes I'm using a 14g wire...
What about slingshots??
hello, very helpful video, so i have question and hope you can help how would u wire lights that have hi & low lights to one switch ( on-off-on). hope this make sense
I havnt done many, I only now do switchpros.. Its an expensive component but so much less wiring. more reliable and works amazing
@@GLifeUTV Thank you
Have you tried dual battery isolator with isolation kit?
Yes I have installed and have seen many.. If you must listen to your audio with a car off, it's a cool idea.. I personally don't do that so I just like one big battery
Hey bro, have a question for you and hopefully you can answer, what would be the realistic labor/time associated with a complete front dashboard R&R in a 2019 X3 XRS?
The dashboard? Need to be a bit more specific on whats gonna be done
What can I get to play 🎉stereo on my can-am plugged into house or toyhauler and play my stage 5 stereo? Come thru Frankie
A hugh amperage charger
Are you using a Milwaukee drill battery to temporary power those switches? That’s legit.
haha. yea
How would you wire a train horn
Where did you find the 5 pin amber light bar switch?
Ebay
@@GLifeUTV aswome found them! Thanks brotha!
Did you have to get a new or better alternator to run all accessories?
No. I dont
In depth video on rocker switch to relay to light bar?
Might have to do one👌👍
Would this 18gauge be enough for Baja Designs Squadron Pros?
No. In this video is simply to show the proper wiring so the switches work correctly on and off with the ignition. The control circuits in this video can control a traditional relay
Would you have to use the relay supplied by baja designs. can you just bypass it straight into the switch? Thank you
I’m not seeing anything on the parts you used, I’m new to TH-cam, I see comments but no “links in the description”
mobile device....On the very right, at the same level as the video title. There is an arrow. Try that😉
@@GLifeUTV I’m not seeing it, sorry, I’m old 😆
@@billlittle1622 lol.. you can try on a desktop. Sorry 😁
I’ll try that, thanks for trying to help me so fast, love the videos, I’ve learned a lot from you since I’subscribed about a week ago, I just so happen to be n the middle of putting the sleeve on my whip wire and added a dome light, and wanted to change over to those type of rocker switches
Nice bro. sorry for the late response. i hope i help in someway with the vdeos
Can you wire my polaris Rzr
Haha, sorry no rzrs right now
What happened to the Chupacabra side view mirrors that supposedly where bad ass and you where going to install. I don't see them installed on your car. Can you explain WHY! If your going to be promoting make sure your honest.
Id have to rent a time machine and go back in time, ur commenting on a video from a year ago buddy..😏 mirrors are on and in Glamis being Badass😁😁😁😁😁 Happy Halloween🙈🎃😆
G Life UTV I was wondering if you were going to reply and I knew that lol. Happy Halloween and keep up the good work on them Vids😜
Dude this is by far the most complete and helpful switch wiring video out there. Thanks for all the time you took to explain it to those of us who are usually scratching their heads when it comes to wiring 🙏🙏🙏
Thank you sir
Ok so I’m stuck here I’m trying to wire in my soundbar with a 4 pin rocker switch made by dragonfire.
I got a pigtail for my busbar and it’s got three wires.. power, ground, and accessory.
I have my power running to 30 on my 40amp relay with an inline fuse 15a. After landing on 30 it goes to pin 2 on my rocker switch for 12v from the battery
I have the ground, 85 on the relay, ground from the soundbar itself, and pin 7 grounded
I have the power from the soundbar running to the 87 on the relay
I lastly do not know what to do with the accessory wire off the pigtail, the 86 on the relay, and pins 8 and 3 on the rocker switch.
Any help is appreciated
probably the best video on youtube explaining this process! Great job man
Thank you sir
And most professional
@@tnmonty501 thanks bud
@@GLifeUTV .. Im a little ocd so messy wiring makes my brain hurt lol..Question , if I want the switch light to come on with the key for a light bar would I need to run a wire to the auxiliary instead of jumping it to the hot lead on a rzr ?
Agreed
You’ve got a real talent for this!
I have question
How can i connect 4 wire rocket switch
Yellow where i connect if this goes to relay & what no.? or Battery??
Blue where i connect if this goes to relay & what no.?
Red where i connect if this goes to relay & what no.? or Fog ligth ??
Black is connected to Ground
Nobody wants craptacular switches! Great video, good tech.
Been watching a bunch of your videos. Great info and entertaining. Thanks for explaining the switch icon lighting. My switches lit the wrong way and I thought I was out of luck. Subbed.
Thanks🤟 hope these vids can be helpful to some
man this answers nearly every problem I've been trying to figure out, ty ty. Just trying to add a few low draw single LED footwell lights to a switch. Possibly my 14w trunk bar as well
Hi how do you add the horn or whatever your adding to the can am. I did not get that part
So close. My sxs doesn’t have those slots for the rockers and was hoping you’d show how to install switches without those 😕
Is there other title connector boxes available install that one the openings are too small won’t let my rocker switch go into them. Appreciate the info on the terminal connectors though way better than butt connectors.
Yes ive used these and they are much higher quality. I will update link ceautoelectricsupply.com/product/carling-switch-connector-kit/
Damm frank that was a great detailed video but you made it seem so easy. Do you work on customers cars if so I live in San Fernando valley in so California I’d be honored to have my lights done by you
I havnt tooken any work for a few months.. been very busy. But thank you🤙
Awesome video bro, thank so much for all the help
this is great!
Thanks a lot for this amazing vidéo !
Thanks for the video!
I have a wiring harness for 2 pods but has that 3 prong switch can I just the switch?
Great video can u do one or explain to me how the wiring goes though I didn’t buy a wiring key and am trying to DIY everything I got a relay a rocker switch and the lights ready but I’m lost on how the wiring goes does the switch go to battery or does relay or both of them and on the neutral wires can I put them into one wire and go to - on battery?
Hey bro good video just have one question ? My whips are not 5150 I got them on Amazon and they have a red and black wire were do I put those cables because I saw u have a blue and white one can u explain me bro thanks really appreciate if you do thanks
Great video! Just got mine and trying it out. Question what do you do with the trigger wires? Do you just tape them up lol?
I also order my 5150 whips so am trying to learn how to wire the light and the switch would be used for that. Would this set up work
I ditched any inline fuses also. The accesory block is fused and tearing the x3 apart to locate that fuse would suck
Thats true, i showed it as an example, so someone can do fuse per switch. That way on short doesnt take out all your lights👍
Great job do you know anyone that wires a polaris pro xp 4 with all the accessories installed needs everything wired thanks for the info
I have never done one bro and don't know anyone near me that has.. I'm sure it's almost to the x3
Great video but can you explain about 6 on the back of rocker switch for xprite chase light please? I had dash removed recently and I think they installed wires wrong on back of switch when they replaced dash panel.
I dont know off the top of my head. Wish i could show one with a schematic for u.. sorry
Man that’s a super clever idea to wire those switches to where the name of the accessory actually comes on. I never thought of that. I don’t know how my ocd will handle that but the function of it makes more sense. Thanks!
Heck yea.. hope it helps somewhat👍
When you mentioned hooking up the switches to the same ground and power, I assume you mean a daisy chain connection?
I prefer to run them in parallel.. so for example if u were adding 3 switcs to the center console.. 1 power wire or 1 ground turns into 3 power and 3 grounds. One for each switch.
@@GLifeUTV yes sir. That’s called a daisy chain. I just wanted to make sure we were talking the same thing. That’s perfect. Thanks again!
Oh okay.. sorry dont use that term that often was thinking something else👍👍
At the time this video was posted. Was your setup running on the stock battery or did you ever upgraded?
I already had a ft560 big battery at this point if i remember correctly
Hey, great video! As someone who’s new to the SXS stuff, I’ve really enjoyed the videos you put out! One thing to keep in mind with wiring gauge, if you go thinner on the wire you want to make sure to calculate wire length, amperage and wire gauge. Too much amperage for a given length of wire will cause the wire to heat up and can be an issue.
With the 5A fuse, I’m sure you’ll be fine - but I would double check and make sure that the fuse is the weakest link (in terms of amperage) and not the wire itself, otherwise the wire will burn up before that fuse ever blows. Nonetheless, I’m sure 18G wire is fine for this length at under 5A.
Looking forward to more videos!
U are absolutely right. But this video would me 10 mins longer trying to explain amperage draw to correct guage wire and fuse. .. 5 amp is definitely safe for 18guage wire at 12v
Ive always worked on my own motorcycles and now I'm doing all the work on my first utv (2021 turbo s), but wiring is something I've never understood how to do properly. Thank you
Right on. awesome to hear
what size wire can you use for everything? don't want to buy a bunch of different size wire if I don't have too? I was thinking 12 or 14 g? also I don't have much experience with this that's why I ask.
How would you wire a relay into this setup? Do you have a wire diagram to share?
i dont currently. i may do a followup to this video
Awesome ❗️😎
Nice clean work! Thats rare! People make a mess out of wiring 🤦♂️
Thank you. Appreciate the comment 🤟🤛
Wicked video! I spent all day planning how to wire mine. You showed me some cool things to improve on mine. Thank You!
Glad I could help!
Thank you
Is it just me or did I see smoke off the battery at the 14:41 mark.
Just a dirty lens
I'm not finding all of the can am oem amber style switches on amazon. Where did you get yours?
Ebay bro.. type in amber can am switch
Which one of those wires is for the ACC to only turn on when the key is ON ?
I like the way you teach G. if you ever get around to making a wiring harness including rocker switches and relays going to a light bar or something like that can you make a video on that? I’m not exactly sure how to tie in the rocker switch, the light, and the battery to the relay
i will probably do one in the future
@@GLifeUTV I'll keep an eye out!
Hey brother how do you connect the harness you throw in minute 2:08 with a can-am switch thank you for all the great content
The "control circuit shown on this video will power up the relay turn on. I may have to do a part 2 to this
If u ever get the chance you should make a video how to wire a harness with switch using the xp pro plus bar plugs 🤞
Yea. Maybe in the future
Thank you I've been going nuts trying to figure out the wiring And worrying about doing it wrong this explained it the best thank you Having the pictures at the end was nice
Awesome to hear, glad it helped
Have you done a video on how to wire up a sound bar? I want to wire one that can be switched on and off so it doesnt draw from my battery when the utv is off. This was a great video. Very nicely done.
I have not, would be a good idea for a future video
The video and schematics really helped out; thanks dude! I went for your idea of alternate switch wiring and really like it
Great to hear bro
Lost me at the end when u cut fuse out of circuit and wiring light bar
Thanks for this
Killer video bro. I loved it.
thanks
By far best video I’ve see on working.
Thank you
I’m gunna have to follow you, pretty good videos.
🤙🤙
Thx bro! great video.
Thanks
Hi great video! Can you possibly give a link to the open barrel crimps that clip into the switch block/base? I can’t seem to find them! Thanks!
amzn.to/3xEVqN5
Clean homie.. i use the second battery kit so all my accessories go the the second battery terminal so means I cant jump the accessories to power otherwise the light would never turn off so i guess ill have to run a separate wire from stock bus block accessorie?
hard to answer ur question bro. id have to look at ur setup
