When I did my headlight mod,.. I found a short-cut,... there is an ACC 1 or 2 wire right in the connector.
No need for finding another ACC wire to splice into. No need for a fuse either,... it's fused already (as I found out the harder but funner way)
The wire is the Black with a Yellow stripe. The fuse is the number 15 METER fuse, 10 amp
Get any relay off any junker anywhere that has four wires on it,... get the whole relay and connector,...
I had this relay sitting around for 10 yrs
just apply 12v to any combination of two wires till you here a click (Touch the battery terminals at the junk yard)
those two wires run the "electric switch" the other two wires ARE the switch
A relay is an electrically powered switch
There is only 0.12 amps running through the switch to operate the headlight relay,... so ANY 12 V relay will do,... (even one from your cell phone if you want to)
You do need to have to get a normally open switch that only closes the mechanical switch inside when power is applied,... so bring your ohm meter (or multi-meter) with you. or just get a five wire relay and figure out the pin configurement .
SO,... guess who needs a new camera,... I've got a 5 foot focal length and my arms aren't that long
This is the best wire stripper I've ever owned,... no more cut or broken strands (burnt fingers maybe)
