Default Air locker wiring using factory switches

Got my lockers wired up yesterday and I thought Id share how I wired them up using factory switches (dont like the way the ARB switches look). Im using the 3 switch D1 panel. After a little bench testing, I found that each solenoid draws about 500mA, so I will not be using relays to activate them. Just the switch itself. The system is only active when the CDL is locked, and will unlock the axles and turn off the compressor if the CDL is disengaged.
Hope this can help someone else looking to do something similar

That is a sweet set up. Great idea for Clock and Ashtray substitution.
I wanted to do this as well but I could not find the right set up. You did however.

I went for center ceiling mount.

Thanks Yoops! The switches you have seem like they would look and function nice as a ceiling mount. Love your truck BTW

Thanks very much - these work great for ceiling mount and they are lighted...they look cool at night as well.
But I prefer what you did to keep it looking factory...that is the ticket!
