Overhead panel replacement

MDGrenadier9 · 2024-09-23T17:20:22+0100

Hi all - sorry if this has been asked before. I purchased my Grenadier just under a month ago and love it. I come from a long line of Jeeps and 4x4s. I grew up on a farm so working on tractors was a job/hobby.

Anyways, I am interested in installing an engine kill switch in the overhead console. My panel had only has the interior switches and not the upgraded battery pack, etc etc etc.

Has anyone figured out a way to add a switch to the empty section or are there overhead panels for sale somewhere that I can swap out and add more switches?

I want the kill switch in the overhead panel solely out of preference so that I can functionally flip a switch to make myself smile.

Thanks!

Kill switch as in for electrical power or engine?

I literally asked this same question last week. I bought my switches from concord aerospace and was told on the forum I should attach it to my starter or the fuel pump. It can be done though!

Did you cut into the overhead panel or put it somewhere else?

Dude! Please tell me you are putting in the Apollo master alarm panel!

If doing it for security (to prevent a would-be thief from knowing how to start your vehicle), the fuel pump relay could work... However, if you want it as a means to turn off the engine, and use the fuel pump relay, get ready for codes to be thrown (and it's a horrible way to shut down the motor)

I'm aiming more for a look with some functionality. If I truly wanted an kill switch to deter theft, I'd hide it elsewhere.

But back to my original question about the overhead panel...

I put in the "SCE-AUX" switch, it's only famous to nerds like me but look it up, its history is awesome. I did cut into the top panel to fit the switches but I haven't finished the wiring yet. Once the security is up and running I'll post a photo of it completed. The only issue is the back spacing for the rear of the switch, it's tight.

Bobby, where is "factory plug and throttle pedal assembly"? Says it's an easy install if you know that....

I found it a relatively easy install….. remove single bolt at base of throttle pedal, remove connector at rear of pedal assembly (slightly difficult if you have fat fingers), plug in new control unit and run (supplied) cable to mini head unit. Replace bolt in throttle pedal.
