Thoughts and opinions on THIRD BREAK LIGHT set-up

To find +, with ignition ON, should read 12V, yes?

 

The overhead lamp is "always" hot...yes 12v DC +

 

So that “hot” side is where I’ll screw a terminal ring crimped to the + side of my KC whites and the other side, the - side on the

 

That is correct...no checking for bubbles.

 

Do not allow the screws to touch the metal roof, insulate.

 

Correct, will do.

 

What do you mean “no checking for bubbles”?

 

not an underwater event...

 

Check!

 

Another for when/if no go on the mod for the Tundra/3rd Gen Bed Lamp Switch.

One added relay and a Single Pole Double Pole Switch behind the dash.

Edit - The RED Cyclones will behave to what ever the room lamp switch selection is. BRAKE still has priority via relay.

 

What would this do??

Were you an EM or ET?? If so, remember my ASVAB scores were not very high - original rate BM.

My point being, would you mind explaining what would the last option accomplish?

 

Read the drawing...it has a few paragraphs on it.

There are a few mini spdt switches out there. Can be hidden, this switch will select whether the Whites RC Cyclones will be ON without the cab lamps being ON or All lights ON with the position of the cab lamp switch. (Door-OFF-On)
The relay is for the RED RC Cyclones - No matter what position the cab lamp switch is selected the input of BRAKE overrides.

How about this switch?

That one I could hide pretty easy...

And yeah, wasn’t really sure what I wanted to do when I came in 23 years ago, so I was undesignated Seaman, made BM3, then BM2 in Guam - and then went to Dive School, still having fun...

Also, if I understand your notes correctly, this solution would ALMOST (no turning white lights all by themselves by using the mini switch only, the dome light switch would be involved) make the whole setup work with 2 out of 3 positions, yes??

 

That switch is fine. Get a mini relay. https://www.rallylights.com/hella-hl31900-relay-micro-12v-10-20a-spdt-resistor-potted.html and it's base so you can bolt/fix in place. https://www.rallylights.com/hella-hl87125-micro-5-relay-base.html

 

So, if I understand correctly, IF

This part -





Connecting the switch would be accomplished on the back, like you told me...



Finding the + to + and so forth??

 

What's the question?

 

Which switch are you referring to?

 

^^^^^^^^^^^^^

I tried to crop it just to show the dome light switch.

 

No..one is the room lamp switch, the other is the one you'll be hiding somewhere...
