CAN AM , POLARIS, UTV SWITCHPROS RCR-FORCE 12 WIRING INSTALL EP - 192

[@peecout]

Yo G! Did you mention this can be setup for some switches used for constant power (battery power) and some used for switched power? Example: car off and still able to power dome light, rock lights, and whips while all other switches are powered with key on (switched power).

[@GLifeUTV]

I did vagley say it. When i explained start stop must be set to battery power.. but you are right. Im going to pin the comment so more people see it 🤙

[@bammortgage]

Thank you for that clarity

Ok, here is how you make the stop start work correctly. One channel goes to the black/yellow wire on momentary setting. The switch pro blue and white wired to the red/black on the 4x4 switch. I am using an 8 gang switch pro. I used and #8 goes to the black yellow. On the app, turn switchpro and then tap/hold down momentarily #8 to start. Boom....you have lift off!

What about wiring the Lt blue ignition wire to its own switch, off battery power? I have to use the phone app to wake up accessories even to light up the 4x4 switch. Then I am able to start / shut down the unit. Pretting start button doesn’t wake up accessory lights

[@GLifeUTV]

If you're using the start button (on switch pros) to wake up the vehicle. Then that start button needs to be set to battery function. So Start button can work at all times

[@ChrisSmith-ve2tc]

If your Switch Pro is on constant power. meaning the key or start button do not need to be on for the Switch Pro to function, then do you still need to tap into a different ignition power for the Start/Stop to work on X3?

[@MAI-zl3li]

[@clayyerrington6756]

I just went down in the tread and saw the conversation about this… Haha! Thanks for the help!

[@GLifeUTV]

Note may void warranty but Yea. There are 3 wires going to the evo shocker actuator. Red needs constant battery + black constant ground - and the white wire gets controller by the switchpros on and off 12v

Hell yeah man. Thank you again. Always look forward to you new videos.

How did you wire the Shocker into the switch pros other than power and ground “red, black” where do you wire either green or white wire from shocker so that it closes?

[@GLifeUTV]

black goes to ground, red goes to battery hot, white or green cant remember, it only uses one of them not both. is the wire you control on and off with the switchpros.

[@GarSeeYaa]

So i got mine installed. But im not understanding the starter issue you had with the lt blue and white on the lower post. If you have acc power behind the other toggle switch. Its the same as acc power? Where was the rocker switch hooked up that made it different?

[@GLifeUTV]

The ignition has to go to the rocker switch if u plan to use remote start feature... If u use the accessory post, the post wont provide power unless the engine is on.. so from what we experienced. Since the accessory post only provides power when the start button was pressed or engine on. It would reset the switchpros Everytime and would not start properly due to ignition turning on and off

[@GarSeeYaa]

@@GLifeUTV so when engine is turning the acc post kind of cuts in and out so that makes the power come and go. On the rocker switch you tied into constant 12v or acc 12v? Cause if its acc 12v shouldnt it be the same thing as lower post. I see where the issue came just not making sense on the tie in of the rocker if its acc it should reset it the same. Or is it due to the back light on the rocker when engines on. That feed should still come from acc?

[@GLifeUTV]

@@GarSeeYaa The rocker switch powers the backlighting and it wont cut out... I have done it to multiple machines. Its the only way

What’s up Frank. Your videos are very informative. Can you tell me how you wired the exhaust to the Switch-Pros. The lights consist of power and ground but the Evo exhaust exhaust has a green and a white wire and I am not sure how to wire them. I Appreciate your help.

[@GLifeUTV]

There are 3 wires that go to the actuator on the exhaust.. one is ground, one is constant power and the other is power control on and off... You will need to provide power and ground normally thru the power distribution near the shifter on the x3. U can have the power control circuit be controlled by the switchpros. Note i can cut the grey harness. Just dont cut it to close to the original exhaust switch in case u need to reconnect the switch harness

[@dannydeharo8243]

Thanks for the quick response! I actually have four wires. Power, ground, the white you described. When I tested them, it seems that power and white open and the same power and green wire close it. Would that mean that I would need to wire all three power white and green to the Switch-Pros? Sorry for the question this one is really throwing me for a loop.

[@GLifeUTV]

@@dannydeharo8243 your talking about the wires at the actual switch. There should only be 3 that go to the actuator on the valve

[@X3.Rvxlll]

I’ve been looking into getting the rcr 12 for the can am, would it make the wiring simple for all the stuff we’re going to be getting for it? For example I have baja designs lights and don’t like the harness they come with and would rather have it connected to switch pros, would it be just having the power and negative setup to the switch pros? Or would I need the baja designs harness for it still

[@GLifeUTV]

It would just be positve coming from switchpros to bd light and a negative straight to ground from bd light

[@drewfoster1493]

I am confused on this. I have BD light bar. The harness has a positive, negative and ground. What do I do with the ground wire/relay looking thing on the harness?

[@X3.Rvxlll]

@@drewfoster1493 i’m pretty sure you can just cut it out, the control module for the switch pros should have the relay in it already built it so you’d just need the negative and positive i believe. i could be wrong though but from what i understand i believe that’s how it works

[@drewfoster1493]

@Rxvl_ so do I cut the wiring harness that goes to the relay and in there would be just two wires?

[@X3.Rvxlll]

@@drewfoster1493 i think so because the module should have the fuses for the light bar built into the switch pros so you wouldn’t need the relay that is on the harness they give you but i would ask frank to be 100% sure i don’t wanna give you wrong advice and just say yes

Do you move the white and blue wires back to the accessory post after you're done configuring all the switch settings through the app?

[@GLifeUTV]

no, in this example they are powered by the backlighting from the 4wd switch, that is the ignition source. if you use the ignition source from the ign post it will power cycle the switchpros everytime u try to start.. this is only if u want to start vehicle from switchpros. if not you can use the accessory post as ur ign to power switchpros
