Relay question
Friday, December 15, 2006 11:57 PM
Want to make sure this is correct before I go and wire this up to have my fogs only work on park/low (aftermarket)

Starting with Park+Low+High

[URL="http://img72.imageshack.us/img72/8161/parkonlycs0.gif"][/URL]

For Park/Low, using 2 relays. Use the diagram above, but run the wire from pin 87 the first relay (the one going to the fog lights) to pin 30 on the second relay. Use 87a on the second relay to drive the fogs.

Run the high beam power wire to pin 85 on the second relay. Everything else is the same, no switch needed for the second relay.

(I know I am saying use the opposite wire, but 87a is a normally closed pin, by adding power, it opens the circuit, turning the lights off)

Original diagram found here:

Draw up the other relay that you are talking about using and it'll make a bunch more sense (on the same pic)
I can already see one problem but I'm a little confused going off just the words.

With that second drawing, the fog lights will come on when the parking lights are on and will turn off when the high are on.

IDK if thats what you want or not.
I dont get what you are trying to do. You have parking lights, low beams, high beams. What do you want the fogs to do at each one of those. Answer that and then I can tell you.

Sure is.

First sentence:

"Want to make sure this is correct before I go and wire this up to have my fogs only work on park/low..."

Mainly have them kick on with the parking lights, stay on with the low beams and turn off with the high beams.

I thought the concept I had was right, just needed a second opinion which you have provided

O, ok. I thought you meant that you wanted to make sure it is correct before you go and try it and then end up only having it work on park/low (ie having that would be bad).

So ya, that looks like it should work.
