Hi all,
I'm adding a Rigid AW light bar to my Avalanche. Rather than use the (expensive) Rigid wiring harness to use a manual switch to turn the bar on to either white or amber, I'd like to do something different.
I'd like to grab the signal for the high beams and also the signal for the fog lights, run them both through a manual DPST "disconnect" switch, and then connect them to a pair of relays to power the amber automatically (as long as the disconnect isn't off) with the fog light circuit and the white automatically with the high beam circuit. The disconnect will obviously be left off for road driving (they're way too bright to be legal on the road) but then turned to "auto" mode for off road, so the whites come on automatically with the high beams and ambers automatically with the fog lights.
None of this wiring seems particularly challenging, but I do need to know where will be the easiest spot under the dash to grab those two wires to splice into them, and which wires they are.
I assume a harness must come out of the module left of the steering wheel where the fog light button is for that. How about the high beam wire, is it going to be in that same cluster, or a different harness from the steering wheel column?
I'm sure I can find it somewhere online, but if someone already knows, that would be helpful.
Thanks!
