Add puddle lights to come on with dome light
I have 95 dodge ram using a aftermarket door and lock remote with dome light. I want to add my puddle lights to dome to come on when I open or unlock doors with remote. However I don't know where I should hook the positive and negative wires from the puddle lights to the source for them to work and wondering if I need another relay?. I did hook up the dome with relay and negative trigger door switch and negative output wire to relay and works perfect. Now I'm at a standstill. Can anyone please help so I can finally put my truck back together.
This is how my setup is for dome light. Top: negative door trigger switch Bot: ground Left: 12v constant Right: neg output from control box
Looks to be Bosch-type relay. So the connections are: 30 - constant battery voltage, 87 - output to the lights, 86 - spliced from the battery voltage, 85 - trigger (negative)
Except if you are controlling dome light, which has constant positive (correct?), you'll want to connect dome (and puddle light) to the the 87 on the relay, and ground to the 30. And naturally puddle light positive to fused constant battery voltage.
Also you can connect door switch to 85, that way puddles will light when you open the door.
