Parking Lights
Parking Lights
Right now I'm installing my crimestopper alarm/ keyless entry and the only thing I havent done yet is wire the parking lights. In my manual it says the you can even have a negative or a positive trigger default being positive). I found on this forum that I should tap into the brown wire behind the light switch and proof was in two different wiring diagrams (but yet the both conflict one saying negative and one positive)... the problem is theres two brown wires... one on the top row and one on the bottom, which one and is this a negative or positive trigger?
ummm...ok, memory working...
I used dark brown wire on bottom row of switch (the row with the most wires).
Positive trigger.

Not sure if this is the ideal situation, but that's what I used due to simplicity. When the relay fires, not only the parking lights, but everything that is on when you turn the parking lights on flashes (dash gauges, lic. plate lights, etc.).
I wonder if going up through the firewall directly to the parking lights would just let them work and not the dash lights? but then again, it doesn't really bother me one bit...
