#Complete the same procedure for the Hill Assist and ATC Off switches. They will be going from the Center Stack to left of the Steering Wheel. Make sure you leave enough extension cable and makes sure you test all your crimps. Those skinny factory wires can be a bitch.<br />[[File:Yaesu_Install_Switches_17.jpg|400px]][[File:Yaesu_Install_Switches_18.jpg|400px]]
#For your aftermarket switch (like I decided to use) your "plug" will be replaced with crimp style 1/4" female quick disconnects. Crimp one onto the end of each of the 4 cables you ran for the Cargo Lamp switch. The pink & black wires (which became yellow and black for me) are ground and so they can use non-insulated quick disconnects. The grey and purple wires (white and orange for me) are signal and dash light 12V and so they should have insulated quick disconnects applied. The red wire you see is dash light 12V for the other 2 switches. You can pull this from any dash light 12V wire you want. There is 1 each for the Hill Assist & ATC Off switches. To get at it, simply put 2 wires in 1 side of a crimp connector and 1 wire in the other (just like on the red wire in the photo).<br />[[File:Yaesu_Install_Switches_19.jpg|400px]]
#The aftermarket switches install from the front and stay in place using the little tabs on the top & bottom. Pop your 3 switches into place & follow the wiring diagram below to see how to hook up the switches. There is 1 diagram for the Cargo Lamp Switch and 1 diagram for a more "typical" Accessory Switch. Remember the Cargo Lamp Switch is a [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double_pole,_double_throw#Contact_terminology DPDT] switch with completely independent wiring for the 2 poles and the lamps. The other Accessory Switches are [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single_pole,_double_throw#Contact_terminology SPDT] switches where the lamp circuit is integrated into the switch circuit for simplicity. The special Cargo Lamp Switch is required because [http://steamforge.net/wiki/index.php/2012_Nissan_Frontier:_Fun_Facts the Cargo Lamp relay is activated via a "switched GND."] Most "normal" circuits switch VCC instead.<br />[[File:Yaesu_Install_Switches_20.jpg|400px]]#You're done with the heavy lifting! Test everything before you put the car back together because loose connections (or wrong connections) are easy to make.<br />[[File:Yaesu_Install_Switches_21.jpg|400px]][[File:Yaesu_Install_Switches_22.jpg|400px]][[File:Yaesu_Install_Switches_23.jpg|400px]]
