just ordered this one:
http://www.amazon.com/Laser-Rocker-Switch-SASQUATCH-LIGHTS/dp/B00K6D8BUW
the last pic on the page has a diagram of it.
My rudimentary understanding led me to think that...since it's hooked up to the factory harness, I'd just splice the harness under the steering column (whichever wires it is) and put that to the switch. That way, the battery is already wired in the proper sequence.
OR I can do things another way, whatever works. I've done audio wiring before so it can't be that hard. I just can't read those diagrams.
Well that is a horrible diagram, tells you how to wire the lights, but not the load, but that doesn't matter. That set up is designed to switch power, the Toyota setup is designed to switch ground. You could use that switch if you add a relay. Again, not very hard, but it helps if you have an idea what the goal is.
So basically you would need a 12V power source(Not available at the factory switch), preferably tapped in to the green/white wire going to the Fog Relay, and connect that to #2 on the switch. The rest of the switch is fairly easy.
#6 is instrument light power circuit
#7 and #8 are both going to ground.
#3 will go to the NEW Bosch type Relay that you add.
On the new Relay you add:
The wire from #3 on the switch will go to Term 85
term 86 will go to Ground
term 87 will go to Ground
term 30 will go to the wire going to the switch on the stalk, Black with Red stripe.
That will POWER the relay trigger when you turn on the switch, the relay will then ground the factory fog relay trigger sending 12V from the 15A Fog fuse to the Fog lights.
Easy peasy!
:blah:
