 Secondary Trim Switch on PD
Has anyone installed a secondary trim switch for their PD.
I did this past weekend and it was a little bit of a puzzle with figuring out the wiring. But I got it.
Reason for doing so is I am to lazy to twist my body around while sitting in my seat to trim up and down when I need to.
Its right next to my right knee next to my grab bar. Nice addition. I like the easy of use for when I am running. Will use the handle mounted one for when I am working mud or lillys.

 Re: Secondary Trim Switch on PD
How did you get the wires figured out? I had to totally disconnect the wires from the switch on the handle. I am now using a warn winch with a relay on my grab bar. I can easily hook it back up the original way,which is nice in case one of the switches goes bad, but was not able to figure out how to do both.
I will try to post up a pic later today.

I installed a double pole, double throw toggle switch. Both switch wires are run to this and then the 2 winch control wire are run to that.
They both can not work at the same time but all it takes is the flip of the toggle to what ever station I want and good to go.

 Re: Secondary Trim Switch on PD
that makes sense. I set mine up that I would only hook back the original wires if something goes bad on the secondary switch I installed. Was kind of hard to get used to the change, but I really like it on the grab bar.
