You always need one more.Is 4 switches sufficient? Will I regret not getting 6?
So far I only have a winch that I need to hook up.
well the idea is that if you're going thru deep water and the fan is running (doubtfully would kick on when crossing since the water would cool your engine) you can kill the fan so it doesn't splash water throughout your engine bay potentially splashing water in bad places. On my JK I had breather lines extended to my snorkel and fuse boxes, etc protected to help prevent shorts. Driving thru deep water is just a pain and has so many side effects with water ingress that I don't care to do those crossing anymore. I built my JK up well, but I was not kind to it. The maintenance involved with that kind of build up is not worth it to me anymore and I aim for a more stock like setup and look for suspension components with a more OEM mindset of install and forget. Without a lift it is annoying to remove your wheels every oil change to lube all the joints. And driving thru deep water just increases this maintenance and checking fluids to make sure you did not get water ingress.I have never heard of a kill fan switch before. You use this when crossing high levels of water?
Educate me please.
i did six and need more - go with 8Is 4 switches sufficient? Will I regret not getting 6?

Looking into getting the Trigger 6 Shooter or the Trigger 4 Shooter. Any comment on this switch?
I'm a noob...care to elaborate? I'm connecting my winch to one of these (https://www.warn.com/power-interrupt-kit-62132) and I need it to be connected to a switch.You do not want to hook your winch up to an easy access dash switch, it is pointless (IMO).
I did this on mine and used the aux switch instead of the included one.I'm a noob...care to elaborate? I'm connecting my winch to one of these (https://www.warn.com/power-interrupt-kit-62132) and I need it to be connected to a switch.
I watch my temps a lot, so I don't see an overheat issue ever happening for me. Others who don't pay attention sure, but they're also unlikely to do a fan switch. I never forgot to toggle the switch back. I have forgotten to take the jeep out of 4H when I get to pavement though a few times. I'm surprised how easy this is to do.Cool.
I guess the hard part would be to remember to turn the fan back on afterwards. I can easily see someone having overheating issues from that.
I have always been amazed to see how people drive their Jeeps through rivers. For most vehicles (Independent Front Suspension), we need to regrease springs, etc. after driving through flooded streets. If we don't, we get a lot of squeaking sounds from the suspension.
We also have to ensure that the cv joint boots still have enough grease in them. If the grease gets washed out, metal starts to rub on metal. That would be the end of the cv joint.
Did you have to do anything like that?
Those are a good set up if you want to add a switch. I was saying to not use a easily accessible switch for driving. I've never hooked up a winch with a switch and out of all the jeepers I know, none of them do either. I know guys who wired their controls (line out/line in) to buttons on their dash that didn't even do a power interrupt switch.I'm a noob...care to elaborate?
