I'd like to wire an led light bar into an existing dash switch. The switch is labelled 'accessory' and nothing comes on when the switch is turned on. There is wiring to the switch and I assume the hot end is somewhere in the boat. Where would this be? It's a 2010 Sundeck, 22 foot. I've also attached a pic of some of the switches. Assuming I can't find the hot end of the accessory wiring, how can I tap into the switch? I could use a volt meter and figure out which post is hot when on and plug my new connection into that. Per the ground, according to the pic and wiring schematics they are all pigtailed together and then ran to the fuse panel ground. I could connect the ground to the switch or the fuse panel ground correct, or does it need to go to the switch. I don't want to cut any wires and I will label anything I take off/unplug. Thanks for the help.
It's also extremely difficult in getting to the backs of the switches. The bolts to remove the switch panel are also difficult to get to because tons or wiring is in front of them. Any easier way of getting to the backs of the switches for wiring?
Thank you
