I think ill "hack" a second set of contact points into the switch to run a standard 12v relay. There is plenty of room inside the MFS.

Did you measure how much current you had running through those contacts?

Enough to trigger the relay?

Doesn't matter, the hazards are triggered via the load being between certain ranges not by current. In theory pins 2 and 3 are always a closed circuit. I will have to create a separate circuit to trigger a traditional relay.

Very Creative way Dodge made that whole setup work.

I've got a few ideas in mind how I could work that circuit out... what a pain in the @$$ though..... lol

Should be interesting to see which way you pick.
