My dad went to an electronics store and they gave him a relay so that when ever the ignition is on the fog lamps are available with power. (theres a switch for them, and they only turn on when the ignition is on, but I can shut them off)
So on the relay in back it says "126" and on top "49400" I think its an original chrysler relay, but anyways. Ive got a 30, 85, 87, and 86 that I can connect wires to, the middle one (87a) has no wire, the electronics guy said I didnt need it.
What he wrote down:
85 = high beam
87 = ignition
86 = switch to the 87/ignition
30 = positive for the fog lamps..
Instead of the high beams I tried putting a constant 12 volts for testing, same for ignition, the lamps never turn on...
Any ideas on how I could get this to work?
EDIT!!!
Everything is working now, but my dad still wants to know if its bad to use a switch on the 12v ignition wire....
EX:
When key is turned theres 12v in that wire, so I tap onto that wire and send it to the fog lamps.....
Is that hard on the wire? will I be likely to blow fuses??
Thanks!!
