Hi Guys,
I just installed some LEDs in the bed and wired them via a relais to the Blue/White wire on the cargo lamp switch.
I can turn them on and off, when the interior light is on.
If I leave my truck, the interior light is on, LEDs off.
After 30 seconds interior light shuts off by itself and the LEDs turn on by itself.
So when my Interior lights are off, the LEDs are on and I cant shut them off with the Cargo Lamp switch.
The point I dont get is, why is the Caro Lamp off but my LEDs on. Measured it.: (THe blue/white wire goes from the cargo lamp switch to the cargo lamp if I look in the wiring diagramm.)
Cargo lamp switch off interior light on = 0 Volts at Blue/White wire on cargo switch. LED off Cargo lamp off
Cargo lamp switch on interior light on = 12 Volts at Blue/White wire on cargo switch. LED on Cargo lamp on
Cargo lamp switch off/on interior light off = 12 Volts at Blue/White wire on cargo switch. LED on Cargo lamp off
I want to wire my LEDs via a relais to the cargo lamp switch but it is not possible, when the Blue/white wire has 12V even when the switch is off.
But I saw a Video on Youtube and it worked for him with wiring his LEDs to the Blue/white cable.
So I was wondering if the blue/white wire goes not directly to my cargo lamp. I dont know.
Maybe you can help me with that.
Thanks
Colin
