Excellent! Thanks for taking the time. Its threads like this that when contributed to by the community can become quite a resource. When I was reading through it the first thing that came to mind was a timed relay that could be manipulated for preference.

Ideally when everything was said and done to have them come on and run for a set time each time the engine is started and then to have a switch that would make the same thing happen anytime while driving and felt the need.

Really inciteful thank you!

 

I tried one of those initially and never quite got it working right. But, that would be the ideal scenario.
