AEV Switch Pod installed

[Outbreak]

Well, I have all of my stuff, wired up the relays and am ready to put in the switch pod. My only problem is finding a spot for the relay box. I looked on my 2500 at the same spot yours is, but there isn't any room there...

Look near the master cylinder, between that and the battery. I put a fuse box there with room to spare. I used some L brackets from the battery box to my relay/fuse box.

I like those Contura X switches. Here's mine with Contura V:




That connector you used inside is nice, I used some 8 pin computer molex connectors (EPS 12v extensions) to wire mine up; most of those switches are SPDT and have triggers that turn them on in one position, and I can manually turn them on in the other position. The last switch is a placeholder until I decide what I need to run with it.

Looks great, post a pic of your truck with the rock lights on

Don't have them installed yet, been too busy. Just have the switch there as another placeholder until I do

I wish AEV made that pod for my 2012 RAM... But they can't even bother to answer an email asking if they are ever going to make one... Oh well...

Yeah Paul, I feel ya. I am going with this and the sPOD(SE) for 8 switches. No love for the 2009-2012.

I looked at the sPod but just decided it was a little too far out of my budget... I am trying to find the "RAM insert" on the lower part of the console... Gently shave the "RAM" off of it to make it flat and then mount my switches there. I don't have that many switching needs but that would look better than "Aux 1, Aux 2, blank, blank, Aux 3...."

I don't have room in the bottom

yeah but Paul has '12. That badboy won't work, sadly.

I'm just saying I couldn't use that aux panel of switches, not what he could or couldn't use

I finally got mine installed and had an open spot at the end as well. I ended up putting a dual USB with voltmeter there. You can never have enough USB ports...

They sell blank panels to fill in the unwanted slots
