Help, I am trying to wire my 4 neons to a switch. I have run a red positive wire from the battery through the firewall then connected to the switch. I then ran a ground from the switch and grounded it. Finally I ran the positve wire from the neons to the ACC spot on the switch, but it doesn't work. What am I doing wrong?

should i wire fogs toghether with my driving lights? my driving lights has a remote control switch to it so i dont have to deall with drilling another hole in the dash.. i dont know..

I recently purchased a bezel with a fog lamp switch so I could use this swith for my PIAA. I looked up the color and wire codes and chiltons and hooked it up like I should have(I think). Red to light blue and black, Black to black, and white to tan and orange. The problem that I am having is the fuse keeps on blowing on the circut that I have tapped my switch power from. I hooked up the PIAA switch once again everything works fine as before. Can the stock switch be used? Why does it draw so many amps, a switch is a switch right. If this can't be done any suggestions? Thanks Jeff

Hey guys, a few questions about wiring for my 4 55w lights I'd like to put on my roof rack: How can I set up the wiring - 2 separate circuits with 2 lights in series on each? 4 lights in parallel? How could/did you set up the switch - directly to one switch or through a relay? Thanks in advance.

I want to add some extra interior lights...how do i go about hooking them up to the car battery? what size wires, do i need a distribution box if im going to run more than one set...? please tell me all you know! all help appreciated

I have 2 55w lights on my truck(aftermarket), made my own wiring. It is a on/off switch that is not illuminated. The switch is mounted on a metal rod under the dash. 1. Does this switch need to be grounded also? 2. Is there supposed to be a wire from the battery to the switch? I didnt put a relay on it but thinking I should. Let me know experts.....counting on you...:)

i need to know which wire or wires control the parking/sidemarker lights. i want to have them bright all the time and just flash when i turn the blinker or emergency light on. right now a stock 98 explorer will have a dim light on the blinker lenses that turns on with the headlights. this light just gets brighter when you turn a blinker on. when the headlight is off the blinker light gets just as bright as the blinker light with the headlights on. ok if your not lost yet i will continue. i have a chilton manual but i dont know enough about wiring to be able to read it to find out what i need to know. so can someone take a look at the wiring diagram and tell me what i need to do to make my blinkler lights their brightest all the...

Hello all- I have a question concerning the wiring in my 03 sport. I would like to know if there is a way I can wire up a fuse box that becomes active only when my ignition is in the accessory position, or running position. I would like to run this box off of a solonoid, so that I can carry a fairly strong positive current into the truck, and run all my accessories off of one fuse box. The 08 superduties have a similar setup factory wired in, 4 heavy duty accessory switches that can be wired to lights etc. I would also like to know, is there a heavy enough guage positive wire coming in from the battery that could be tapped into to power the fuse box so that I would not have to put any wires through the firewall? Ideally I would like to...

Hey guys, last night the headlight switch in my 91 starting acting up. Depending on how I played with it I could either get parking lights or headlights and no parking lights. I went out a bought a new switch and just put it in. What I noticed was that one of the terminals on the old switch was burnt and the connector in the harness was also semi-burnt and the plastic was melted. The insulator on the wire was also discolored. After replacing the switch all still works. My question is could this have been caused by a faulty switch? or the way I have my off road lights wired up? My off road lights are not high power, just simple 55W x 2. I have the power for them tapped into the parking lights so that they can be turned on...

i am planning on running fog lights, front strobes, rear strobes, ground effects kit, inside lights, and overhead monitor. (possibly more) I am wanting to run each one of the off seperate switches so i can turn each one on seperatly. Does anyone know how i would go about wiring this up (i have an idea but i'm sure it won't work) i would like to have it where i would have to flip a switch to supply power to the other switches that have the lights on them. But again i have no idea how to wire this up. Also i am pretty sure i would have to upgrade my battery and/or alternator to supply enough power to all this. Could anyone recommend and good battery and/or alternator upgrade.

Question for you guys. Here goes. My old stock fogs in the lower valence are LONG gone. I have two aftermarket fog lights on my rig in the license plate hole - they used to be on either side of the plate that I no longer have because I live in PA now. Additionally, they never did much anyway. So, I've decided to remove them and add 3 KC 26 series driving lights across the whole plate hole as running lights to supplement my headlights. Now here's the wiring stuff - bear with me, I'm not the best at this. The two aftermarket fogs are wired directly to the old stock fog lights wiring - that is, power and ground connected right to the old power and ground stock wires via bullet connectors. I intend to wire the KCs up the same way...

yesterday, i started installing some driving lights on my 1998 explorer sport. after attaching the lights to the truck, i started the wiring :( i have installed some fog lights on my x before, so i htought this was going to be easy. the first step was to find the high beam wire and connect it to the switch. since i did not have a tester on hand, i went to my haynes manual. where i thought i found the wire (gray/orange). so i searched for it and searched, after i removed the panel under the steering panel, as well as the metal panel behind it, i found a gray and orange wire coming from the steering wheel. :scratch: i spliced into this wire and connected it to the switch. second step was to mount the relay by the battery...

do the lights get power from the battery? How do you hook them up to the battery?

I am thinking of putting four 55 watt off-road lights on a light bar on my 94 XLT. I have seen many threads on wiring but am still confused. I am new to wiring things. My question is once I get the wires run down and under the hood, what do I do? Do I run them to the battery or thru something else first? I want these lights to be on thier own switch and seperate from the head lights and parking lights. (Can I even run four lights to one switch?) Is this something I need a relay for. I have also seen these mentioned quite a few times but am not sure when or where to use them. All help is appreciated greatly. If anyone has pics that would be awesome.:D

Has anybody done this? I've already got them installed and hooked up to a switch. I want to rewire them so that they come on when I turn the high beams on or when I flip the switch their currently on. Any ideas/help?
