LOOKING FOR A FACTORY PUSH BUTTON SWITCH

[RFB]

IM WIRING UP MY FRIDGE In the rear, Ive wired it up to a factory switch one of 6 ive installed, but for the fridge Id like a factory push button for the fridge or should i just hard wire the anderson plug for the fridge and let the fridge do the thinking??

I can't think of a good reason to have your fridge controlled by a switch. It's not like you are turning it on and off a ton. I can think of more reasons not to run it through a switch (like accidentally hitting the switch and turning it off while your fridge is full of food) than I can for doing it.

Also consider that your switch has to be rated for the current draw the fridge produces, otherwise you need to run it through a relay.

I ran mine straight from the battery and just leave it plugged in. I turn it on and off using the buttons on the fridge. Worst case if I forget to turn it off someday the fridge will shut it self down before the battery gets too low. I regularly leave it on overnight when traveling and it hasn't been an issue.

All Toyota factory switches control relays. So long as the same is done I don't see an issue.

Yea Im thinking to straight up wire to the fuse block and then leave it off at the anderson coupling I just ordered. Nothing wrong with that right?/

I use this factory Toyota switch #00550-35976 with our Aux fan kit. It is rated at 25a so no relay is needed in most cases also available without indicator light. Hi/low Heater switch is also rated and a few others.

Anderson MV50 flush WP outlet I had a friend pick up from Australia.

Ok quik question Phil, Ive used nothing but yota switched throughout and all the switches are wired off my bussman relay fuse block, did I not have to wire these thru the bussman relays because the switch already has that built in??

Correct no relay need with the switches spec'd above on circuits with running loads of 20a or less.
