Default 342 ACC switches

So the boat has 3 "ACC" button on the dash, 2 on the right of the wheel, and one of the left.

NONE of them seam to turn on anything. but ysterday when i was going to use one for my underwater LEDs, i noticed One had an open tab for use.

but the one on the Left (first one fromt he wheel), and the one second from the wheel on the right bth had wires going to something. they go into the harness and pretty hard to follow. SO what do these go to?

any guesses?

That is a million dollar question... Been wondering that for 3 years. I have the same buttons as you and no idea what they power. I used one for my cockpit LED lights and the other for the power on my GPS antenna.

My Baja has several unused prewired ACC dash switches. They have power to them from the fuse block. You simply run your lead from whatever you are powering to the empty spade on switch itself, and make sure to instal the correct fuse rating for wiring you run to the switch.

no thats the thing ONE of them has an empty spade. i used that for the underwater LEDS i was installing. the other 2 have a wire going to the spade you would use to power something, But i have NO idea what it is... guess IF and when I need another switch i will just unplug something and if i ever cant figure out why something does not work I will no.

Oh yeah, that was one. I took it out when I put the GPS in.

Good call.

Do you guys have the electric antenna pole light or the pole you stick in?
