I want to install on and off switches to LED's that I have installed. They are hooked up through the FZ-1 Accessory Fuse Block. Can anyone tell me how to hook up an on and off switch with this. Red positive to the left side and black negative to the right. I might want a switch for each item I install so I figure one demonstration will relate to the others. Thanks.
On and Off Switch through the FZ-1 Accessory Fuse Block

If it is not a lighted switch you should not need a ground.
Just take the positive wire to one side and feed the Led's to the other side.
The switch will just break the circuit. ON / OFFThat is if I understand you question correctly

@MACAWS Ok what if it is a lighted switch
You just need to check if the switch requires a ground there should be a diagram on the switch body
-
That is a great little fuse box you have the option to run items from constant power source or Accessory
-
OK
Left side of that fuse block says +12 out - that would go to the 12V source with proper fuse on the switch diagram
Right side of the fuse block Ground Bus would be where you connect the ground wire for both the switch and the LED
Accessory side of the switch would be the + side of the LEDHope that makes sense
-
OK
The simplest way to explain it would be like this
The red wire that goes from the fuse box to the LED is your positive power supply
Your switch when in the off position will prevent power from getting to the LED when on it will close the circuit and turn on the LEDSo if you can imagine cutting that wire in the middle and installing the switch that is where it would go.
does that help?

@frehleycomet I am running the same fuse block on my Slingshot for all my lighting. I have 3 zones of lighting that I am running through it. Since I have no intention on using the other 3 circuits on the fuse block, I am using a switch to power my whole fuse block. I basically ran the yellow ignition wire to a switch, which I tied into a constant power source. I wanted the ability to power up all my lighting without the Slingshot being on. I also wanted to power down my controllers when they are not being used.

The lights in your house work the same way....the hot wire is cut and connected to the in and out of the switch. The ground wire is not cut.
