Switch wiring question

Hi All,
Here goes!!! I want to wire up my bags to operate on 3 switches- 1 for the front, 1 for the rear and 1 for all up/down... The switches i found that i like only come in momentary on/off/on DPSP. Can i wire up my setup the way i have described with these type of switches? If possible a diagram or drawing would be great! Thanks

Re: Switch wiring question

Those switches will work. Be sure to get one 6 prong and two 3 prong switches.

Re: Switch wiring question

Do you have an 8 valve system? If so your best bet is to run 5 switches. You will need a switch for each corner and one to dump. If you dont run a seperate fill switch to each corner you cant compensate for additional weight such as gas or addition passengers.

Re: Switch wiring question

Well, I got it figured out. Since the switches that i wanted only come in SPDT 3 prong terminals i had to put diodes on the all up/down switch. That kept the power from backfeeding to the other switches when i use the all up/down switch. Tested it out and is working great! Thanks for all the suggestions!
