Using Jumper Wires for Switch Panel OK? I am currently wiring up my nitrous switch panel in my 2005 CTS-V (thanks Beer). I was wondering if it would be OK for me to run one switched 12V+wire to the main nitrous arm switch and jumper it to the other 4 switches on the panel for their switched 12V+ and do the same for the ground for these switches (LED/bottle opener)? There is just so little room in the ash tray housing where the switch panel is going.
Thanks!
Thanks!

Damn you got it already? That USPS is on the ball!
How is the fit?
"Y" connecting is how I wired mine , with some shrink wrap at the Connectors

As long as you're using relays for the big items and purge, just piggyback all the wires because they're really just signal wires for the relay. Bottle opener, I would make sure that the wire you're going off of has a sufficient amp load rating to operate it.

Fitment is OK. I have to get this installed Wednesday so I just clearanced a LOT of stuff in the stock ash tray bezel and got it to fit (not your fault, the plate is perfect!)! I just need to figure out how to mount it now since the 2 sided tape will not work in the small space!
