Mainly, just have a lot of patience, it will payoff big time, and make NOTES, you have a better memory than I if you can remember your layout two weeks down the road, you may want another circuit somewhere or a possible future circuit, just plan ahead.......
This is my rendition of a factory door jamb switch...now if you want to control if your interior lights come on, if you’re doing something and need a door open, simply put a switch in the power feed wire such that you can shut the power off to this circuit.....
