Anyone know how the factory toggle switches work?


Recommended Posts

I just wired up my bajas to the factory fog light switch using this schematic, since I wanted to leave the switch in the ON position, but have the fogs come on with the parking lights/headlights.

Everything works as it should, except the little orange indicator light is always on when the park/headlights are on, but the fog switch can be up or down. Anyone know how to make it shut off when the switch is down?

The power lead (GRN wire) should be attached to the center pin of the dash foglight switch. Then attach the switch ON 12V output to the relay coil (YEL wire) to one of the outside contacts. Then disconnect the ground (BLU wire) to the other side of the switch. Since the two outside switch contacts are common the unneeded ground ground wire provides a path to keep the switch indicator light ON.

I have a relay and ground wire on pin 85, and a ground from the top pin of the switch going to ground.

 

For reference, I have top prong to ground, middle prong to pin 86, and the botton prong to parking light circuit.

 

You are saying I should remove the top pin on the switch (pin A) all together?

 

I'm a little slow with wiring, sorry...

I'm saying swap the YEL and GRN wires on the fog light switch, and remove the BLU ground wire. GRN wire to the middle pin, YEL wire to either of the outside pins, and disconnect the BLU ground wire you have on one of the outside pins. It's causing a ground loop.
