Is this too much wiring involved? START YOUR MACHINE FROM YOUR PHONE!! Simplify things with a switchpros. check out this video I made. ua-cam.com/video/czlVK4JO6CA/v-deo.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
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
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
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.
probably the best UTV video there is if youre tired of buying $30+ harnesses from retailers. awesome video!!
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 ?
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!
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
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
Hi how do you add the horn or whatever your adding to the can am. I did not get that part
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
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?
So close. My sxs doesn’t have those slots for the rockers and was hoping you’d show how to install switches without those 😕
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
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/
Should use marine grade tined copper for outdoor use
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🤙
Great video. It help me with some wiring I didn't have in the correct order. Thank you.
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
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
Thanks a lot for this amazing vidéo !
Awesome video bro, thank so much for all the help
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
I have a wiring harness for 2 pods but has that 3 prong switch can I just the switch?
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 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.
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
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👍
this is great!
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
Thanks for the video!
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
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.
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
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
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
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!
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 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?
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?
Awesome ❗️😎
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.
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
The last 2 extra wires you have, do you split those into 4 or where exactly do they go?
Am I the only one cracking up how he says wiiiiire... Awesome love it good job
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!
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?
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
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
This is great. Perfect for what I needed to know. Great job!!
🤜🤛🤙
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
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
Nice job explaining thanks
Is it just me or did I see smoke off the battery at the 14:41 mark.
Just a dirty lens
Thank you
Your work is so clean!!! I love it thanks for the videos!
🙏thanks bro👍👍
Nice clean work! Thats rare! People make a mess out of wiring 🤦♂️
Thank you. Appreciate the comment 🤟🤛
Extremely well explained and very simple to follow thank you
Glad it was helpful!
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!
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👍👍
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
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!
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
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
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
This is possibly the most helpful video I have ever watched!
🤜🤛🍻
By far best video I’ve see on working.
Thank you
I’m gunna have to follow you, pretty good videos.
🤙🤙
Killer video bro. I loved it.
thanks
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 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
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
Just found your video and its exactly what I was looking for. Thank you for the great content.
👍👍
Thx bro! great video.
Thanks
Lost me at the end when u cut fuse out of circuit and wiring light bar
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
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
Can you provide a link to where I can find the Can Am rocker switches for the whip lights?

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
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
Excellent video, you explain everything well. Nice job
Thanks🍻
That is not 18awg wire he's using. It's more like 14.
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.
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.
Would really like seeing you wire from a Polaris Pulse Bar.
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
Awesome video, helped me a ton and you are a natural entertainer! Thanks for putting these out.
Awesome to hear John
Great Vid..
Thanks
Nice, working on the rzr wire n mess as Iam watching the video, GPS and intercom radio going in along with the pumper. Two trips coming up blue inn and Zion UT...
Sounds like ur hooking it up:). Gps and intercom is nice to have brotha... and i need to get a pumper too so i stop eating dirt..haha. have some save trips
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.
I agree with that🍻
Nice video, but one question. With all the accessories you have why 'you install a fuse block and relay switch to help protect everything. I only ask because I am trying to figure out how I should do wiring for light bar and USB port. I also have angle eye headlights and a chase light on a 202 polaris RZR 900. I am confused as to when to install a fuse block and relay. Thanks
The power coming out of the switchs can directly power low amp draw items like rock lights, dome lights, whips.. on higher draw lights like light bars, pods, air pumper, soundbar. The power coming out of these switchs can be used as a (control circuit) to control a relay for those higher draw applications. Ur angle eyes can be directly powered as well as the usb port.. but the light bar should have a relay for the higher output. Although some of these switches are rated for 20-25amps. I wouldnt trust in them to carry that kinda of power and also the wire guage i show in this video is not sufficient for high draw applications
@@GLifeUTV Thanks Frank!!
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!!
🤟🤟
Just transitioned my ignition to my switch pro, and I want to remove my start stop button, do you know of any companies that sell a blank or plug to fill the space?
not a plug, but they make custom plates , check out the site for stayflush products
Badass work my bru. Thanks for the info
🤙
Thanks so much so helpful !!! gave me the guts to build my own jumper and harness whips worked great
👍 awesome
Thanks for this
Can you have the power to accessory as constant but have it wired for lights on the switch to key power?
Yea u can probably do that. So they still work??
It's not a car! Jesus christ people..
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.
