Alright, so I've mounted my new ARB compressor from Northridge 4x4 (Dave was great by the way) and now I'm on to the wiring. I've gotten the majority of the diagram figured out, however, I'm not sure what to do with the dash illumination and ignition wires. Can someone please direct me as to where these get connected. I'm mounting the switches in the center dash between the two air ducts. Any info would be great. Thanks

 

Dash Illumination light is just that, when you turn on your head/parking lights it allows the switchs to be dimly lit.

Ignition is a power wire, how do you want this to be able to be turned on? power all the time? power only when the key is in ACC?

I get what those wires are meant to do, I was just wondering if anyone could tell me the color of the wires I should be looking for and where a good spot is to connect to them. Thanks

 

the dash alumination wire is gray and orange. the other wire i spliced in with the power outlet that comes on with the ignition (not sure what color that one was). i wouldnt take my word 100%......double check, but i think the gray and orange is the dash dimmer wire.

That's good info, thank you... can anyone verify this and help with the ignition wire color?

 

I think I've gotten it figured out, the ignition wire can be access from the backside of the driver side power outlet in the dash. This is a switched outlet. The blue and pink wire is the hot wire. So this should do it. Thanks Stupidface for helping me out with the dash illumination wire.

Just saw a video on that removal, pretty darn easy.

so WHERE did you guys mount the compressor? i;m about to buy the ARB, but can't bring myself to that 90 dollar bracket..

 

i ran the hot to the battery, just bought an inline fuze, and the dimmer to the orange with grey stripes as mentioned aboved, with some scrap metal my buddy helped me make a mount that is real nice, but if you can weld and get some scrap steel,(dimensions, was about 1''x1/4''x12'') he bend it twice and welded the plate that came with the compressor and mounted it to a pre-existing hole behind the front/driver shock. i can post some pics tomrow if yah want. but its def better than 90$ to buy one.
