Ha! I almost forgot part two of the Switch-Pros SP-9100 install! With the dirty work wrapping up on the Jeep I took some time to get some accessory wiring knocked out. I cut all the battery cables to length and replaced the ends with heavy duty heat shrink crimped lugs. The supplied power cable for the SP-9100 was giving me fits with where I need to route the cable so the decision was made to cut the supplied fuse out and go with a BUSS fuse terminal block of the same amperage. I have been using the block style BUSS fuses for my stereo and winch and they hold up great! I thought if this fuse style can handle a Warn Zeon 10S pulling a 6000-pound Jeep out of a mud hole then a replacement 125-amp fuse will do fine for the SP-9100. All the battery wiring was completed last week, and the battery was reinstalled back in the tray. Before the battery went back in, I took some time to put Delco connectors on all the wires coming from the SP-9100 harness. These connectors will allow me to disconnect wires and troubleshoot accessories very quickly while under the hood. Plus, the added benefit of being able to replace a wire and Delco end as needed is a huge plus. No more butt connectors! I ran 5 wires from the battery tray to the rear of the Jeep. Four were needed to trigger the VIAIR compressors and air relays for ARB lockers and EVO swaybar disconnect. The fifth wire is a spare, so I do not have to run any more wires outside the loom back to the back of the Jeep. The 5 wires were inserted into a long piece of heat shrink tubing and run along the existing harness going to the EVAP canister. Once in the cable was far enough along, I turned it up into the fender opening and drilled through the floor. The wire was passed through a grommet and then RTV sealed so it would not leak. All the connections at the relays and compressor are outfitted with the same style Delco connections as the front for ease of maintenance. I soldered the output wires from switches four through eight together in pairs since the SP-9100 relays pass two 17-amp power source wires onto one accessory to manage higher amperage loads. With the two source wires soldered together I then added a short single wire to that junction and heat wrapped them for protection. They got the same Delco connector treatment as the other accessories.
With all the wiring done and the battery back in place it was time to fire up the SP-9100. I chose to connect to the switch and configure it using the Bluetooth connection on my iPhone. The app from Switch-Pros could really use some updates and detailed changes, but it works for what needs to be done. I setup all my switches as I had them labeled. Air compressors come on when the Jeep is turned on. Any air relay switch that was turned on when the Jeep was turned off, will come back on when the Jeep is started. This is most handy when out on the trails and I need my sway bar to come back on when we come off break and get back in the Jeep. Lockers will stay engaged in the event I need to kill the Jeep while working through any obstacles. Lights on the Jeep will work with the ignition on or off. I might rethink the front lights, but my rock lights will remain battery powered for sure. For what you can configure on this switch it is well worth the cost. The configuration possibilities far exceed the sPod light controller, and only half the price. Have to be careful because I could probably connect another one to the Jeep! Oh, and they daisy chain together. The switch has met and exceeded my expectations. Cannot wait to trail test this unit!
