OBC switches "Poor man's version"
 
I did the DIY single switch mod so I can cycle through the functions; I have a couple of question for those who have done the 1 switch and 2 switch mods:

Some articles recommend installing two switches on the dash face; does the second switch allow for activation of the speed gong ?

My switch cycles through the function by pushing one side of the switch, pushing the other side doesn't appear to do anything; is this normal ?

My box is a '98

My OBC has one arm. Push front and back to select or go back a screen, up and down to scroll or change values.

Jim, like Timco, I have the 4th stalk, but I would assume that the answer to your question is "yes," based upon the following excerpt from the Pelican technical article:

Quote:

Wire one of the two switches to the pins that control “mode forwards” and “mode backwards”, and the other switch to “select mode down” and “speed gong/alert” (see table in the text).

I've read the Pelican Tech article several times; before and after my dash switch installation. I'm seeking feedback from those who did the "poor man's OBC" using one and/or two switches.....thanks for the feedback. :)

You're going to need two switches, working in concert with one another, to adjust the speed at which the speed gong sounds.

Did you do this ?

No. See the PM I sent you. Shot a quick video to try to explain how the stalk works. The switches must operate in the same fashion.
