On my '84 , I've got the third eye up and mounted.

 

I have the stock relay, and switch and would like to use them

rather than a DPDT switch

 

Not much talk about doing it this way. Anyone ever done it?

 

Should i just treat 'em da same as any other relay and switch?

(but they look oh so different)

 

Note:

 

• Center lamp motor is not being used in this jobber.
  
• I plan on wiring two other lamps in on the same switch
  

 

 

any suggestions, criticisms, thoughts and blatant scoffing much appreciated.

Mr Greenley sir, how do you purpose opening the door?

 

I have the entire set up on the shelf,

and if I recall... been several years since I studied it.

the relay and associeated switch gear

is used to open the door via the motor and

turn the lamp on

ONLY when the door is open.

 

I'd be happy to work with you designing

a relay circuit or figure how to use the factory relay,

if you explain what you would like to do.

I should have also noted that i was not using the door either.

 

My donor was lacking the cover,

so i took the whole assembly apart

removed any unneeded parts and cleaned/painted for a nice look.

 

These are the components i'm implementing on the '84:

Ah now I see said Stevie to Ray

 

Very nice job on the pict/descript.

 

My recco is to use the switch to control a standard lighting relay.

Keep/trade/barter or sell the factory relay to a needy folk.

 

The switch has two wires that when the switch

closes will have have continuity (i.e. go from infinite ohms to 0 ohms)

 

Here is one diagram that will work (shows two lamps

you can connect all three)

 

The battery source can be a headlight hot, ignition hot, or always hot.

Hope this is what you needed??

Thanks for taking the time to draw that up Skip

 

I figured it would be easiest and most logical

to use a standard relay in this particular application,

and that is how i have mine done up.

 

When i find a nice passing lamp with a door in the future,

will this same standard type relay be able to control the motor?
