Re: Wiring Relays for Turn Signals/Parking Lights

Any thoughts? Scrap the parking light relay nonsense?
I think you could wire up relays for the last 3 wires the same as you did for the headlights. The wire to the parking lights-cut it, attach the cut end from the switch to the relay control, attach the cut end to the lights to the relay contacts. Add fused 12v from the battery, and Ground. Be aware of how the switch is working to determine how to connect, is it providing 12v to the load or is it grounding the load?
Same for the turn signals, but put the relay before the flasher unit.
I like to make a diagram usually for this kind of thing, hope it helps.
