Message: <blockquote data-quote="RodNH" data-source="post: 39995" data-attributes="member: 4512">Ken,Thanks. You've given me a great idea. The left control handle (standard controls) on my skid has two vertical rocker switches. The one on the left is for the directional lights option which I don't have, so it's unused. The one on the right is for some attachment control that doesn't apply to any attachment I currently have so that one is also available for some other use. I think these are the two switches you are referring to, correct? I should be able to do the same as you have done and tee into the correct wires in order to be able to use these switches for any custom use that I want. That way I would not have to buy anything from Bobcat - at least that's what it seems.The only Bobcat attachment I have that uses any attachment control is my SB200 snowblower. That uses the left vertical rocker switch on the right control handle and the central horizontal switch on the left control handle. Those functions should not be affected by my custom use of those other rocker switches. I have a Bobcat service manual with the wiring diagrams so I should be able to select the correct wiring to tee into. Finding the appropriate wires seems to be the hardest part. The relays, custom wiring harness and external weatherproof plug should be a piece of cake. Do you see anything wrong with this thinking? I'll wait until next year before attempting anything like this as the skid is only a couple of months old and under warranty.Rod</blockquote>
