I'm Awesome
so, I am preparing to wire in several things on my 96 and am trying to figure out if I should make it complicated and relay things.
1. Cab lights (using less). Can I just tie into the wire at the headlight switch (anyone know what color) and ground somewhere?
2. Tow mirrors (K2XX style). Plan is to tie into parking wires in the door panels (brown wire I think) and then tap into the reverse wire under the dash. For the heated mirror I was gonna tap into the rear defrost wire under the dash or at the hvac unit. For the signals I was gonna find the wires under the dash.
3. Gm style light bar (used on dually) under tailgate. Plan is to tap into the trailer harness.
4. Auto dim mirror with comp and temp. Plan is to find a keyed on source and just tap into that.
Any advice would be appreciated. When I say tap I mean strip back and poke a hole in the braided wire and wrap the new wire tight then use electrical tape. It would be simpler to not run relays, but i don't want to overload anything and cause a fire or short.
