hello out there.. i'm adding 2 l.e.d. light bars to the headache rack on my 2000 4.0 ranger. just wanted to know if anyone has ever added a second running light switch. I robbed a new console bezel from an explorer (2000) and added the second switch to run the l.e.d.'s. i piggypacked the main power to the switch & hooked up the ground but have no power comming OUT of the factory #2 switch.do i need to attatch the 3rd wire (light blue w/ tracer)? seems pretty strait forward but i must be missing something simple. thanks for any help.

Have you considered a separate relay for these lights? Fairly easy to do and eliminates the chance of overloading the circuit...

I had a relay wring diagram somewhere but it got lost when my computer died last month...but they are on-line so not hard to find if you need one.
