I HAVE LOOKED BEFORE BUT W/O SUCCESS. I'M TRYING TO WIRE MY OWN SWITCHBOX UP AND CAN'T QUITE FIGURE IT OUT. I'M WANTING TO KNOW EXACTLY HOW TO HOOK UP THE SWITCHES FOR F/B/S/S/ & ALL UP/DOWN. HOW DO YOU LINK THE SWITCHES TOGETHER.THANKS FOR ANY HELP. BY THE WAY ; I'VE LOOKE AT MOST OF THE SITES THAT HAVE DIAGRAMS AND EITHER THEIR NOT TELLING ME WHAT I WANT OR I'M NOT READING THEM CORECTLY. THANKS AGAIN

its simple.. 12V power in the middle. fill on one side, dump on the other. You need momentary toggle switches... Run the power in series to all the switches.

you are best off spending 25 bucks on one of those big mail box switch boxes and just transfering everything over to your box

You either have to get multi prong switches or a bunch of diodes

I took apart one of the mailbox styles also. I only needed six switches for my needs, so I clipped the wires to the rest of the harness that was left over.
