I got around to testing my 4 lead voltage display jobbie today, connected the power supply & measurement leads together, worked fine, might get around to fitting it at some point

Got my eye on sticking it in the silly little cubby hole to the right of the steering wheel, maybe, I want it switchable between the 2 batteries on a push to make basis.
Going to have to go over my round tuit list for the new year

I'm super duper pleased with the result I got with mine by using the space of 3 switch blanks (after removing the vertical internal dividers) and using a piece of mousemat neoprene tuype rubber as a gasket. Depends if yours is the right size to fit but when I researche these things they seemed to be in two different sizes, one of which was perfect.

...apologies for poor focus

Most of my switches are being used or have things already planned for them

Looks like it's a pretty good fit in the cubby, unless I come up with a silly idea in the meantime

Depending on the slack on the cables, it should go over to the switch bank on the other side...Easy enough to extend the cables a little i'd have thought...
Is it an original mazda switch, or an aftermarket item?

more than likely the same meter as missfixit70,seems the best and the right color.

Or put the meter on t'other side, or in the little cubby hole to the right of the steering wheel.
