I thought about posting this on HIDplanet and Candlepower, but ultimately I figured since it's on my jeep I'll post it here. 5-90, Fitch, and all electrical guru's chime in...
I'm looking to hook up my switchbox to two seperate control sources. I have the idea in my head but I'm over-confusing myself when it comes to wiring the relays. I want to make 1 of my 6 switches control which control device turns them on/off. Sounds confusing right? Well think of it this way - switch 1 is the main switch, 2-6 are all hooked up to aux lights. When switch 1 is in the up position, the headlight high beam switch controls ALL the others. So with high beams on, all the lights come on. With it off, they all turn off. Then, flip the main switch number 1 down, and all the others operate independently. High beam or no high beam. I'm not sure which type of relay to use, I'm thinking SPDT? One for the main switch, and one somewhere else in between it and the high beam switch? I think I need to spend a few hours studying the FSM and designing some wiring diagrams...
