juan Posted March 25, 2006 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 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
summitlt Posted March 27, 2006 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. Just a FYI
juan Posted March 28, 2006 Author Posted March 28, 2006 Thank You.... CW steered me the wrong way, blew around 10 fuses and almost got the dash on fire!!!! With friends like these who needs enemies – just wait until I have to work on his truck… :-D
CWLONGSHOT Posted March 28, 2006 Posted March 28, 2006 Come on Juan....the fire wasn't THAT bad....it only singed those 8 tracks you had on the floor and the smoke smelled more like insence, I remember from my previous life! :shock: :-D :-D :lol: CW
