And an short schematic (page 6) on how to jump terminals 8 and 7 together on ON-OFF switches for backlighting. There’s also a useful explanation in this puppy about how to use a terminal block instead of jumpers on the back of a jam-packed 10 terminal rocker switch (page 5). Again… when you want switch backlighting, and ONE or BOTH of two different loads to come on. While written specifically for a boat’s navigation and anchor switch, this wiring diagram will also be helpful for other industries or vehicles, like front and rear lights, or windshield wipers. Very helpful if you’re concerned about the illumination of the rocker switch backlights interfering with your night vision while running (after all, you need your running lights on when cruising at night on the boat). This is often something like a panel lights, or gauge light switch.Ī lot of boaters prefer this so that they can separately trigger the switch backlighting independent of the running lights. When you do want the nav / anchor switch to power the backlights, and have white lights then you’ll need this rocker switch, which is technically not an independent lamp (but you don’t really need one in this case).Īnyway – in short, you need two loads to come on when the witch is UP, and only one load to come on when the switch is DOWN right? That’s no problem, EXCEPT you want the top light independently triggered by another rocker switch. You’ll find these wiring diagrams and guide handy when you want want backlit switches, but you don’t want your nav/anc switch to power the backlights or if you want red or blue LED lighting. This guide applies to these switch bodies: VJD2-U66B (white), VJD2-UCCB (red), and the VJD2-UCCB (blue).

Each of these Carling switches have two independent lamps that can be controlled via a series of jumpers. We do have a several rocker switches that can make this work though… they are the VJD2-U66B (white), VJD2-UCCB (red), and the VJD2-UCCB (blue).
Obviously we’d turn to an ON-OFF-ON switch, but when utilizing backlights as well, it gets a little more complicated b/c the upper lamp is now reserved for the backlight, and can’t be used as an indicator. A boat owner wanting to FILL the livewell when UP, and AERATE the livewell when down for instance. We often find ourselves wanting to use one rocker switch for 2 different loads, one when UP and another when DOWN. And how to make this switch with two independent lights into a backlight (top) and indicator (bottom). Pushbutton switches are two-position devices actuated with a button that is pressed and released. In this downloadable wiring diagram guide, we’ll discuss a Double Pole Double Throw (DPDT) rocker switch. ON-OFF-ON DPDT rocker switch wiring diagram
