So we have 6 switches in the overhead console....

[calicocat]

which, to an electrical engineer is like waving a red cape at a bull. But what to do with them? I don't need a winch or plow. Only so much lighting is necessary. What have you all done with the switches?

In my case Chaff to prevent the truck from receiving OTA updates.

Just coming up with ideas here... Three for anti-theft:

BATT (Battery Disconnect)​

BCM (Body Control Module Disconnect)​

GEN (Alternator Disconnect)​

Three for lighting:

SPOT (Flood Lights / Light Bar - for front of truck)​

CAMP (Exterior Lights - for campground Illumination/back and sides of truck)​

ROCK (Rock Lights - for under the truck)​

You could also just wire up all six switches in series as an anti-theft. Eg, in order to start the truck, Switch 1 needs to be ON, 2 OFF, 3 OFF, 4 OFF, 5 ON, 6 OFF.

Other things that come to mind:

PTO​

Locker​

Intercooler Spray/Fan​

Compressor​

Illuminated middle finger sign hung in rear window​

I have my switches wired to a “blow me up suck me Susie doll.” All of them!

I hate that all I could think of when I read this was the inflatable copilot in Airplane!

On a more serious note, I've been waiting for the Boosted Grey Goose switch panel kit restock and I, too, often wonder what the hell I'd legitimately use those switches for after I pay $800 for an overhead fidget spinner. Just seems like an invitation to spend even more money
