Is this too much wiring involved? START YOUR MACHINE FROM YOUR PHONE!! Simplify things with a switchpros. check out this video I made. kzbin.info/www/bejne/mavPh35qf7RpeaM

When running multiple toggle switches for multiple devices do they need individual relays too??? Thx

[@GLifeUTV]

Right on. awesome to hear

[@ZacharyKhan3]

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!

[@GLifeUTV]

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

[@johnlowe2000]

Excellent video, you explain everything well. Nice job

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!

[@GLifeUTV]

Heck yea.. hope it helps somewhat👍

[@jasong712]

When you mentioned hooking up the switches to the same ground and power, I assume you mean a daisy chain connection?

[@GLifeUTV]

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.

[@jasong712]

@@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!

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.

[@kenyott9169]

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

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?

[@JC-iv7mw]

Would really like seeing you wire from a Polaris Pulse Bar.

[@adricole2769]

Great Vid..

[@GLifeUTV]

Thanks

[@Warhorse469]

Personally I like to use midi fuse's over spade fuses there much more reliable, the only down side is they are more expensive but in the end spending a little more money on a fuse is worth it.

[@GLifeUTV]

I agree with that🍻

[@sunvalleyorganics]

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 ?

The last 2 extra wires you have, do you split those into 4 or where exactly do they go?

@@fishslayersocal9345Happy easter bro. Rip to ur pops... Its alot of work to wrap, and a real pain in the butt. Also if u ride in rocky/gravel terrain expect to have to repair some spots from time to time. Also i recommend using edge sealer on all edges and make sure they are completely sealed or they will peel. Also all the textured plastics need to be treated first. Using a heat gun. Heat them until the plastics turns dark. Just don't over due it and melt it.. it is alot of work. Best would be have a wrap company make you a wrap if u want flames or go paint. Good luck bro🤙

[@fishslayersocal9345]

Gracias Bro! The more I think about it I’m steering towards just having someone handle it . Little by little I’ll get this car looking saucey . I’m about 8k in and I still see a ways to go 😳 we definitely have a expensive hobby. I recently got the files for some boxed a arms so I’m going to cut them out on my cnc and do some tig action will see how they turn out I’ll shot you some pictures once I fab them it’s going to be a prototype for now and I’ll tweak on them hopefully it will be a hit. Also if you need any brackets or cnc shit let me know I have the equipment in my garage to make some custom bad ass parts.

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

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

[@rockytoptech1308]

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.

[@trentharlan9884]

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.

[@GLifeUTV]

I have not, would be a good idea for a future video

[@criscoscorner3791]

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

[@robertmontoya4941]

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.

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.

[@rapidone607]

I have 2 small LED lights on the frt of my Polaris currently on a 3 prong switch such as you showed early on in your vid. Can I use these 5 prong switches to light the LED's without a relay. I had to use a relay on the Reverse LED's due to the lights still on dimly when the SxS was running. This is due to the SxS supplying constant power on the reverse circuit and it's a switched ground. I could put it on the keyed circuit but you'd need to have the key on to use, since I don't have an accessory setting on my Ignition I have to have the bike on the run position which causes the injectors to cycle etc which can be harmful if done too many times.

[@GLifeUTV]

They are rated for 20amp. So potentially yes you can. As long as you leds dont draw over that. I would say that you will have to use thicker guage wiring tho if you will be directly powering led pods.
