I got some JR switches for my Flatbed Hawk. Getting them out of the base (2 pack) wasn't easy but I figured it out and installed them into the empty slots.
 
Now... I'm trying to figure out which fuse the patio lights go to. My fuse diagram doesn't match the amp ratings on the diagram and the wires from the patio light are your standard black/white and there's no black/white pair in the fuse box. I could jump those wires together and test for continuity but hoping someone has already done that?
 
Here's the photo of my fuse box and the fuse diagram and the back of the switch/wiring box.
 
The great thing is there are already wires at the switch/wiring box that were for "flood lights" that I can use and they are routed under the door jam if I can figure out which wires to tap into for the patio lights.

I just had a "brain storm"... since all the wires are already in the fuse box and in the wire box, I can just move the wires for the "flood lights" over to the patio lights and connect the wires in the wiring box for the flood lights to the new switch... no cutting, etc.! The only thing is if the wires to the patio lights also power other things but either way, easier to do this all at the fuse box.
