I wanted to hard wire my GPS into one of the auxilary switches. When I removed the dash and looked at the back of the switches there were no open terminals to wire into. Every terminal on the swithces were already wired into. I am the original owner fo the boat and am positive they do not operate anything on the boat. Any help on how to tap into these switches would bbe greatly appreciated.

Could be that there is a short output lead coming from the switch and it's capped off somewhere close in the harness. I have a few unused Aux switches as well. I'll see if they are "pre-wired".

I found one harness and identified the switch it was powered from to connect up a fishing device. I'm sure you could easily disconnect this wire at the switch and have an open switch for something else.

The breaker is the last connection.
