found wiring diagram of the oem harness. heres what i used:
used 4mm wiring all round (10 or 15amps if i can remember), should be fine as its thicker than aftermarket so i should be safe from fires :P
bought a 12V 30 amp relay from jaycar as i couldnt be bothered salvaging/ searching for a mitsuba relay. same difference.
on a side note...after working for 5 minutes or so, the jdm foglight button as decided to kill itself and now doesnt 'click' in by itself. after opening the button i cant seem to find anything wrong with it, theres no shortage...its a button all it is made of is 2 small bulbs and a switch.
any ideas? cause of an overload of power or just bcuz the button is in bad condition? as far as i can see the inside looks exactly the same as the rear demister button, except the demister actually clicks.
do the lights come on when you press the button, then go off when you take your finger off the button? if this is so, then your relay is fine so then the problem lies at the switch. could be that the switch latch mechanism has broken.
the button doesnt work at all anymore. it is as if the connection/circuit is broken. ive tried a spare demister button as well an the same thing has just happened. i'm certain its not the button now, which means theres an issue with the wiring.
problem is...it all seems right. its exactly the same as the above oem wiring diagram. most likely is the relay i guess. it is wired up correctly to the relay. does anyone know the specs on the oem relay? the jaycar one is rated 30amps, 12v.
can you hear the relay "click" when you press the switch? maybe you just mismatched the wires going to the relay, as it could be different for the jaycar relay.
