So I understand from your photos how to jump now between the purple in the orange by sandwiching in a wire...
I didn't get the part of what to do with the Diodes? For turning your work lights on and off whenever you want... I don't mind if my flashers are always on when the switch is in any of the On/Positions... but it would be cool to be able to turn off your work lights too...
So jumping the wire: I understand for the WorkLights / and Flashers Together / Always On if Switch is On.
But The Diodes is over my head still...
And Again... thank you.. thank you.... thank you for figuring this out for us... This has been a 3 Year Peeve for Me!!!!! |
Sorry for not being more clear. i am/was wrting thins fast since the kids and work....
The diode: The diode works by only allowing electricity one way through a wire. With the diode installed in the wire bridging the switch, you would have work lights on whenever the flasher was on, but not flashers on when you turn the switch to position 3 (headlights and worklights).
In order to switch the worklights in the above situation, you would need to install the diode, just as in above, and put a switch in allowing you to open or close the circut to the worklights. Very simple if you mounted that switch close.
I can make a wire up and show you if needed.

Here is another situation I am working through with another member. I think we will remove the hazard lights from the switch and install another switch to run the hazard lights so they can be turned on whenever you want, with whatever other lights you want. We would then insert the Purple wire into the slot that the orange wire was in the switch. That would make the switch dot he following:
1. off
2. Work lights only
3. work lights and headlights
4. headlights only
We could also work it to have different combos... but...
That way you could choose your lighting, and flip another separate switch for hazards.
