juan Posted March 25, 2006 Share Posted March 25, 2006 Can anyone tell me the how to wire the factory elctrical switches. I'm refering to the fog light, cargo light, switches etc. I want to run my aftermarket lights with the factory switch I have but do not know which contact in back is ground, switch 12V. and constant 12v. does anybody knows???

CWLONGSHOT Posted March 25, 2006 Share Posted March 25, 2006 Juan, With ignition on and in "run" position. the wire tha DOSEN'T spark when touched to ground, is ground. Now mark that wire. Turn the ign. off, check the other two wires the same way. The one that sparks now, is constant 12V and that makes the remaining one switched 12V's! :shock: :shock: :D EASY HUH!! Sorry man....couldn't resist!! :lol: Forgive me? CW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
summitlt Posted March 27, 2006 Share Posted March 27, 2006 The switchs are pretty simple, black is ground, the others are just power, if the light stays on all the time, swap your power wires. I have the factory switches running my reverse lights and my rollbar lights with no relays. Fused, and the switches seem to handle it no problem.
