Electrical Question
« on: April 28, 2003, 07:13:51 pm »
I was reading in VFAQ that you can keep your fog light on at all times by having a jumper wire from the ALT Relay to the FOG Relay is this true??, and if it is does it matter on what Gauge of wire I'd use?
Thanks, Dan

The easy way to do this is to jumper a +12v from the dimmer switch to the fog switch all in the dash, the fog switch gets an input from the headlight cct when the headlights are on ( popups up) so you would just be duplictaing this switched hot to the fog switch using the dimmer hot ( constant)

make sense?? :laugh:

Fraser, can you elaborate a bit on this one??  I would like to do this too, but I don't wanna frig anything up.  Love to be able to have the light of the driving lights, but not have my doors up.
