Seeing that JL has done the Overhead switches that were never done on the previous sytem from PM, I decided to pull the overhead out and connect all the switches and leds up as well as re-doing the backlighting with strip led lighting.
The backlighting is 100% better than the original way that I did it with individual white leds on a perf board. As well as that, using 12 volts is a lot better than 2 to 3 volts, as any bad connections on lower voltage is a pain.
The only problem so far that I have seen is 3 of the switches on the overhead seem to have a problem, as I am unable to get the Landing Lights to switch on as well as the Nose light. They go off and then go to Auto when I check on the pictures of the overhead. The Stobe light also will not go to on.
So not sure if the InterFaceIt board is the problem or not.
Here are a couple of pics, shows how much I needed to tidy up the wiring !
