hard_nox Posted September 11, 2010 Report Share Posted September 11, 2010 Ok guys I have a friend that is trying to install some 12 volt fluorescent lights in his custom work truck. He needs to be able to operate the lights from at least three different locations if needed. Front door, side door, and back door. I can figure out how to wire the light using two DPST switches easy enough, but I am lost :trippy: at the third location. Do I need to use a three pole switch? My buddy is wanting to work on this project next weekend so if anyone can help me out it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrSkippyJ Posted September 12, 2010 Report Share Posted September 12, 2010 he just wants to have a switch at every spot? or does he want to be able to turn the lights on from one door and off from another?

white4d96 Posted September 12, 2010 Report Share Posted September 12, 2010 If I read right only thing I can think of is some sort of remote control setup. Quote Too many projects, too little time... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert8252 Posted September 12, 2010 Report Share Posted September 12, 2010 Yeah. You could easily turn it on from 3 different spots but no way I can think of to turn it off from a switch it wasn't turned on by. Buy a remote control for it Quote 2013 F150 Crew Cab Old Build Log Feedback 2013 F150 Equipment - Some Awesome Stereo Sound Making Stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hard_nox Posted September 13, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2010 The remote idea may be an option.....I will see what I can figure out. Yeah my buddy needs to be able to turn the light off from the main cab, large rear door and side door. I was thinking surely that someone had done something similar. Thanks for the help guys back to the drawing board. If he was to purchase a decent alarm, one of the channels could be used in conjunction with the light and then using his remote to turn the light on and off.
