Getting Carling Switches (Custom Rockers) to work properly?

[barryswanson Senior Member Find all posts View Profile Close barryswanson]

This weekend I have been installing my winch, compressor and spotties. I have used custom rocker switches and I haven't found the dash illumination wire to hook up to the ARB switch yet. I believe its the green wire coming out of the idle up button after doing some searching. But I have noticed that the light on the ARB compressor switch illuminates when its turned on. I would like to know how I can wire up my winch isolator and spot lights switch so it to lights up like the compressor switch when activated. I have tried putting the two wires for each switch in every possible combination but haven't had a win. Does anyone know how to make this happen or could they point me in the right direction? Many thanks.

I run mine off accessory lights used on my lockers. Its a separate power supply in to the switch. The Custom rocker website has the deatils of where to attach it.

use the indication lamp supply from the compressor switch, which is in turn a new supply from the parkers as per the ARB loom.

grab a carling rocker switch diagram and wire them in accordingly. i did all of MLC's in this fashion and it worked a treat!

Just run into the same problem with my 08 Hilux, I've been dealing with Ian from customrockers via email, and can't commend him highly enough on his service. My switch still isn't working, but I think it's more due to my incompetence than anything else

Here's the link for the wiring diagrams: http://i275.photobucket.com/albums/j...NGDIAGRAMS.jpg

I'm assuming that the Prado is negatively switched, like the Hilux, so you'll need to use the bottom right diagram for your compressor (I think). Flick him an email and tell him the dramas you are having, I'm sure he'll be too happy to help!
