I own a SRT6 and was wondering if anyone has converted their balnk switch on center console to an on/off switch to run interior lights? The blank switch I'm refering to is the spoiler switch on the NA's.
I purchased a second Alarm switch thinking it would work but it only sends power out when depressed it will not work as on/off toggle. Anybody have any ideas?

 

I was thinking of using that for a on/off switch for a radar/laser jammer

 

if you cant find the proper switch, here is a relay circuit that will latch and unlatch from a momentary switch (and unlatch when you turn the key off)

Special Applications with SPDT Relays, Diagrams

That is great information Chris beacuse that is exactly what the the alarm switch I purchased does, I just don't know how to purchase the relay described in the diagram to connect to my switch.

that circuit uses 4 (yes 4) standard SPDT relays .... available at kragens, etc ... cheaper online

example ... http://www.ebay.com/itm/12-Volt-Rela...item1e6918070d

1n4001 would be a good number for the diodes

Chris

 

wow.... I haven't heard of Kragens since I left San Jose......

 

Thank you very much for your help, I think I'll keep serching for that on/off switch not sure I have enought room in dash for 4 relays and wiring.

My sw is for opening and closing my exhaust dumps,, works great. jim

 

OK I'm curious did you use a chrysler or MB sw or did you go rouge and make your own?

 

the rear wing sw on the limited was used ,it was by Rudy, when he put my V8 into my car. jim

 

Yes I had talked to Rudy prior to starting thread, he had qouted me a price then got really busy, so I thought I might be able to try on my own. Rudy did say If I got some people together he would make up a few rather than just one.

So to everyone reading this if you would like to have a on/off switch to replace your "blank" where "wing sw" would be I'll start a list to give to Rudy.

 

yea it is not just a swap out ,,there is a lot of work just to get it to work as a toggle sw.

 

If space is a concern, you could do this with one IC and a transistor (T flip flop). But if Rudy already has a working solution for this, I bet it is a good one and I would go with that.

Chris

 

I'd be interested pending price.

 

Count me in as well. I dont know *what* exactly I need a switch for, but I need one.

 

I converted my blank to control my fog lights.

Gave me the ability to run the fog lights with high beams as well as allows them to default on anytime the headlights are on so I do not have to remember to pull out on the headlight switch....

It can be done with one small latching relay and one standard automotive relay.

The latching relay is essentially the item that will turn the momentary pulse to a constant signal. Unfortunately I could only find these in low current circuit board style so you must then take that latched signal to a full size automative relay to handle the current needed. Plenty of room in the dash for this though...

Many options exist for that latching relay, I chose a FRT3-SL2 Relay:

Now if Rudy puts something together it would be a LOT cleaner and simpler I am sure, but this will work JUST FINE if you have the time to make it happen.

Here is my original thread with more info of exactly what I did. https://www.crossfireforum.org/forum...rks-fixed.html

 

Hope you remember to default to off when in Oklahoma unless weather warrants their use. It will get you a ticket here for having them on for the fun of it.

 

OK I could not wait for switch to made so I, did the american thing and Improvised.
I bought 3 switches from web Site
Round Rocker Switch - 12V LED - Prewired in Blue, Red, Green, White, Amber, Pink
I Tapped into hot wire from hazard switch put inline fuse and mounted switch inside center console box, attached is a picture of finished product.

 

I used a "standard" $5 relay which I switched-on (ran power to the driving lights) whenever the running-lights are on.

 

You already have an ON-OFF switch for the interior lights on the map light. I guess you would have to have the switch hooked up to a relay if you needed another.
