...now it's done and I have no idea how or in which manner to wire it so that all of the switches are functional, as well as how to integrate it into the wiring harness (I'll be going with a painless system because of the aftermarket gauges and whatnot.)

just to clarify, this is a switch panel that is home-made and fabricated by myself. It is supposed to go inside the console glove box and the lid will cover it up when not in use.

I'm completely lost, basically all of the switches with the exception of the ignition (I got that at autozone) were generic pieces from radio shack.

They all have 2 prongs and I have no idea about the electrical system of my car. I've been doing great on my own for awhile now, but now I feel like I'm right back to where I was when I knew nothing and I first got the car!

Any ideas? I bought some different colored automotive wire, a wire cutter/stripper and the quick disconnect tabs you slide on to the prongs.

But the guy at radioshack was saying something about splicing the one wire into 2??? Isn't that dangerous? I'm totally lost.

Any help would be great. I'm including my pictures of the final product for help. The basic functions I labeled were: ignition, lights, dome light, wipers, panel backlight (courtest light for the panel at night) roll control, dumps, auxilary, and a 2nd auxilary.

Ideas? I'm so confused! Making it was the easy part, I just don't know how to wire it. I'm not an electrician!

Also, any ideas how to mount it inside the console glove box? I haven't figured out what brackets to use, and I'd kind of like it to be so that if I have a wiring problem I can pull the panel back to get to the wiring and all the guts.
