Review on πŸš— Enhance Vehicle Control with Nirider 6 Gang Switch Panel for Truck ATV UTV SUV Car: Touch Switch Box and Circuit Control Box by Casey Narcisse

Revainrating 5 out of 5

There are installation issues when mounting space is limited, but it's worth it.

Yes, I recommend this product. All six switches have been tested and deliver 12V power to the sockets when the vehicle is on. I'll explain my context in case others have very little space to mount the module. If you have plenty of engine bay space and a reasonable choice of mounting points, this lengthy explanation can be skipped. If, like me, you're short on space, then hopefully this guide can make your setup a little easier by helping you plan ahead. Context: I knew my setup was going to be difficult due to the lack of space in the engine bay of my 2019 4Runner. I already have two batteries and a dual ARB compressor mounted on a Rago Fabrication mount. I pulled out the compressor and mounted it, cut the 4" bar towards the firewall (ironically designed to mount the module, but the bar is in a very narrow and difficult to access spot, blocking any reasonable access to the jack through the firewall.Instead I installed a new switch block on the underside of a mount for a Rago with two wiring harnesses and a forward facing output bundle and installed the compressor and unit back into the car.The reality is that the wiring harness (of the six output wires ) is too short for this or any other bottleneck situation! No matter where the Pod is installed in your car, short sockets can be a problem, not only because they are short and difficult to reach, but also because of the connectors I bought from Revain have (https://www.amazon.com/gp /product/B07T33BFX4/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) are very tight and leave difficult to plug correctly into the sockets on the device. As for the connections, I finally had to gently squeeze the fork ends together with a pair of nettle pliers, being careful not to damage them, and apply liberal dabs of dielectric grease to both parts to ensure they fit properly. A much simpler method, which I haven't used but would like, is to add braids (while the device is still on the table) to lengthen them and make them easy to access if the device is in a hard-to-reach spot is mounted . It also makes it easier to negotiate the six extremely tight joints. To clean up the setup I placed six wires in a six section terminal block also purchased from Revain (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07DM14L14). /ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1). I already had a negative/ground junction box installed from a dual battery setup. Now it's easy to add new accessories - just connect the positive and negative wires of the accessory to the appropriate terminal block. When you're done, you can add six accessories without worrying about an under-dash fuse and without running separate switches through the firewall into the dash. You simply connect the positive and negative leads and switch, fuse relays and fuses, backup power for your devices without having to spend a small fortune on one of the leading brands. With each accessory, you can easily rid yourself of the headache and clutter associated with six clunky wiring harnesses snaking through and around the engine bay. One final note: make sure the decals are perfectly centered on the switch buttons. If you move even a little, the switches will get stuck and not work properly. I am providing photos of my setup showing an accessory I already have installed - the Baja Design Squadron Pro Ditch Lights.
