[QUOTE="machoheadgames, post: 434235, member: 18789"] [B][SIZE=4]Factory Switch Panel[/SIZE][/B] As I have posted elsewhere on the forum, I've been working on populating my factory switch panel. From the factory, it can come with up to 3 switches: fog lamps, hardtop defroster, hardtop wiper/washer. If you have a soft top with no fog lamps, then you just have the switch panel with none of the switch holes cut out. I had a hardtop and it only supported the wiper/washer, so I only had the one switch. I bought the fog switch and the hardtop heater switch off eBay. [B][ATTACH type="full" width="262px"]119538[/ATTACH][/B] I got the hardtop defrost relay pulled out of the eBay harness and married it into my stock harness. It was a bunch of work but everything works. Turn on the ignition, press the switch, indicator light goes on for 10 minutes due to the timed relay and then goes out. The switch is a momentary switch that triggers the relay, then the relay latches. If you press the momentary switch again, it triggers the relay off. Pretty neat. I tested the wiring and now I do have the power at the hardtop window, so I know it works. Just need a heated piece of glass at this point. For the fog lights, most of their function came from my new dash harness which includes fog light capability. From the factory, on 1994-1995 YJs, fogs are controlled with two relays.
