Water proof switch?

[mental_help]

Well if you read a thread a while back ago I had to replace all the wiring in my truck do to the previous owner. I did the mod where you put ply wood between the center counsel and the dash (it looks great by the way ). Well I mounted the switch in the ply wood and I noticed I have wires back there. There are more open wires (do to the previous owner) all around my truck but the one I listed was just the first one I could think of but know here is the question how can I make my wire connections/switch waterproof/water resistant?

If you are talking about having the circuits function while the truck is under water(in cab) that is a tall order. Basically it would come down to sealing all openings and bare metal to wires/connectors. Ultra Black RTV, Good luck.

wire connections are waterproofed by shrink wrap, make sure you get the right size for the wires. And if you want, you can place a dab of rtv on the ends right before you shrink it.

As for switches, I hope you are never so far underwater that switches in your senter console are at risk of getting wet. If they are, you now have bigger problems than wet switches.
