Need assistance w/ switch & relay schematics


Recommended Posts

Using OEM Footwell Light switch to install lamps in my 2000 S (utilizing an otherwise blank switch site on the instrument panel). The switch is momentary so I need a relay to operate the lamps - - will one of the OEM relays work, and what are the proper connections to do so? I realize a number of folks have tied FWL into other interior light circuitry, but I like the option of choosing when I want FWL, and I prefer the fully occupied look of the instrument panel as well - - no dummy buttons.

Switch contact #5 is for the Amber LED "Return", according to one schematic I've seen; is this simply a contact for a (typically brown) ground wire?

You might be interested in the info I provided in this thread:

I imagine, though, that you would want to connect pin #5 of the FWL switch to pin #5 of the relay to have the amber LED illuminate when your FW Lights are ON, rather than OFF.
