Not sure what you were trying to do with the diode. I assume you are trying to power the illumination? If so there is an empty fuse location in my fuse block on the left the steering wheel that comes on with the lights. I would use that with an add-a-circuit. I am assuming that you are trying to power it off the illumination circuit from another switch.

 

Never mind i looked at the diagram again. can you give me more info on what the circuit is supposed to do? I can probably solve it for you.

 

The dash lights illumination is good. It's the acc side and the light associated with it. The factory fog wiring is negative switched. The connector for the switch has 4 wires and I can't figure out how to make it work right. The switch actually has 5 wires though.. But I don't have a real pinout for it.

 

What part exactly is not working. The diode in the diagram prevents current from flowing through the circuit when the high beams are off. Meaning there is a 12V path through the bulb and relay coil when the highbeams are off and the switch is off. What exactly is not working?

 

I can figure it out for you. Might need to poke around with the meter..

 

So I'm trying to use the factory wiring for my light bar. I had it working on the factory switch. The lower indicator is working correctly off the dash lights. Wired as below the light bar comes on but the upper indicator doesn't light. Remove the red wire and the upper indicator lights correctly when the button is pushed.

 

That's what I was afraid of, I think the only way is to use a relay. Let me look for my notes from when I put mine in.

Lol backwards..

 

Im sure i can solve this for you... can you send me a link to where you got the switch?..

 

Also, i think i saw RaleighTaco on Old Jenks by the Food Lion.

This has a note of what you are probably referring to.

 

One way would involve taking apart the switch and reversing the LED, from the maker the switch completes a 12v circuit when the switch is turned on for the upper LED(sperate from the accessory you're switching on and off), well with the factory harness being a switched negative this can't happen. One of my ideas was to take the LED out and reverse it since LEDs have polarity. Doing this would then give the LED a switched ground (when the switch is switched to "on") and you could then hook a constant 12v to the pin that used to be the ground for the upper LED.

 

Its hard for me to tell for sure without having an actual schematic for the switch itself.

 

I dont think thats the same switch... so let me get this right... you have a fog light any time mod. you replaced the fog lights with the led light bar and the factory switch with this one?

 

Which wire in the diagram is the red wire that you remove to get the indicator light to come on.

 

Ok.. i think i got it.... the LED is from the red wire to the ground. when you ground the red wire because you're switching in the ground then the LED doesnt work. what you need to do is ground Pin 85 of the relay. connect the green wire of the switch to the +12V from the foglight anytime mod. then the red to 86 of the relay.

 

@voz you clean an inch they take a mile lol.

I'll get back to the wiring when I'm done here.

 

Looks better, but who can say no to @RaleighTaco
