Overhead Switch Pod Installed

As part of my electrical rebuild I needed to find a place to install a  large number of switches. I chose to install them in the ceiling panel of the FJ Cruiser. To do so I utilized Daystar switch panel designed for a jeep application. Here is an earlier post on the parts I used: fj-electrical-system.

I built a harness for the switches that will connect to either the fuse panel or another harness that will extend to the engine compartment. I am making the harness modular so it does not have to be cut to remove parts of the FJ for other projects. I also am using colored wires so I can keep track of the different circuits.

The switches will be used for the following applications:

– Auxiliary power system Master Switch
– Backup / Rear Work lights
– Rock Lights
– Off Road lights
– Rear Fog Lights
– Computer
– APRS (HAM Application)
– DRL Disable

Once I had the switches ready to go it was time to pull the head liner down and add the modules:

Here are the switch modules in the cut outs.
