Yet Another Aux Switch Question

[5747kwk1]

Aux Switch 1 and 2 are 40 amps. How can I use those switches for lower amp lights, etc. Any special wiring changes?

Just use them like you would 2 ,3, 4. Treat them all the same. But sure, 1, 2 can handle 40.

I personally would save Aux 1 & 2 for heavier use down the road if I were you. But, if you don’t plan on any big light bars have at it, you can always switch it up later!

@Rhinebeck101 is right 40 amp is what it can handle, not what it has to handle.

Anticipating your next question... 8-)

Yes, each Aux is fused.. is protected. 15 amp or 40 amp fuse depending on which Aux.

There is no reason why you cannot also have you own fuse in the mix. Say your accessory has a 10 amp inline fuse... Just leave the 10 amp fuse in the mix so your accessory is protected at 10 amp.

You hook them up to something that draws 40 amps or less per circuit. No jokes here.
