adding on/off toggle switch
I'm wanting to add a simple two wire on/off switch to my 12v entertainment center. It has a clock, bright lighting, and emergency weather radio, so live 12v all the time.
It has a red wire, with inline fuse, so likely positive, and a black wire that may be ground.
In this diagram, both the red wire and black wire show power in. Since the red wire has inline fuse, I'm thinking to splice 2 black switch leads into the black wire, for power on/off.
I don't think it matters which I splice switch into, red or black, as either should disconnect power when switch is off? Any reason one would be better than other?
Here is the simple on/off switch that I plan to use.
Thanks for your thoughts. I just see no reason to have this live all the time, when RV is just parked, not being used.
