Default any way to increase volts from 0.6 to 12?

my parking light flash output from my keyless entry box is only putting out like 0.6 volts. it needs to be around 12V to trigger the relay. anything i can add to raise the output volts?

Yes, but if the voltage is low then something is broke. You should fix the broken part. Otherwise, you could use another relay with a lower voltage coil or use a transistor (several likely). For the hell of it you could even use vacuum tubes. You would have all kinds of bling with vacuum tubes glowing under your dash.
