Aux switches and labels completed

[Steve_Cornell]

I got all my auxiliary switches wired up today and labled.The switches control my front and rear LED lights, my Air Compressor, the Train Horns, and Flash the trailer lights.
I installed a Relay N.C. (normally closed) and the switch interrupts the power to the trailer clearance lights, I removed the trailer light fuse and installed the in & out to the relay to where the fuse was (I wired a 20 amp fuse inline to replace the fuse I removed)
I made my labels with a label maker with black tape \ white lettering, I got a couple a little crooked but I can always make more and replace them.
I think it turned out pretty good.

Nice job! If they wear off or fall off eventually you will know them by muscle memory or as you say, just print more. Hard to pass up the low hanging fruit of making a fart label for exhaust brake but you did it

I support this plan.

Did you install a train horn or did you rewire the stock horn so it doesn't honk when you get out with your keys?

I installed this train horn system, stock horn still beeps 3 times when you exit with keys.

Nice. Why flash the trailer lights?

So I can pretend I’m a Trucker lol
Flash lights to acknowledge a thanks when you’re passing someone with a trailer and they flash their lights to let you know you’re clear to come back over.

I know I'm reviving an old thread, but anyone found any solutions. I did print some with a label maker-black tape with white letters. Read somewhere about clear label tape and white lettering. Anyone tried this.

With the black tape, the switches are no longer illuminated. Was thinking clear tape would let the backlight shine through, but not sure about having Aux 1 etc behind the clear tape. Thinking it might be unreadable.

I use black label tape and put it under the switches. Works well enough if you cut the extra space at the top of the label off.
