[QUOTE="ChibbMD, post: 433450, member: 20060"] I seem to be on a roll with electrical projects. Tonight I'm trying to change up the way my front light bar works. Currently, it is wired into the low beam headlight circuit, but it still has a switch in the cab. So basically, I turn the light bar on/off with the interior switch, but only if the headlights are on. Here is how it is currently wired: 1. Fused wire from the battery positive to relay 2. Negative terminal of the battery to the relay 3. One terminal of the interior switch to the relay 4. The other terminal of the interior switch is tapped into the low beam wire 5. There a power wire coming out of the relay running to the light bar I would like the light bar to operate independently using the interior switch and not have it linked to the headlights. This would allow me to use the light bar in any circumstance whether the Jeep is running or not. I think this is a very minor change in how the interior switch and relay and connected, but for some reason I can't deduce how to do achieve this. I think everything stays the same except the wire running from the headlight wire to the switch, but if I disconnect it, where does it go? [/QUOTE]
