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.

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.
