Hey all,
I am wanting to re-do some wiring on my truck. I have a 91 ford Ranger with the manual headlights / parking lights and high beams are on the tree.
I had an issue with my multifunction switch and it was not letting me turn my headlights on because it could not "sense" that the high-beams were off.
Now I am wanting to replace my headlights switch and re-wire it so that regardless of the multifunction switch, I can turn my headlights on. And I would LIKE to do this with a relay wired into the ignition switch so I can have auto-on headlights when I turn the truck on.
I looked around for a 3-position rotary switch, but there really was nothing. I did find a 3-position rocker switch on Amazon.

$15 seems a little pricey but, meh its 3 positions and has LED's.
I am also wanting to do another 3-pos for fog/driving lights with the always on/auto on/off.
I'll need to really look at the wiring diagram for my truck to figure out where to make the connections and then physically where it all will fit, but with the switches, some wire, and 2 relays is this do-able? Has anyone done a similar mod themselves?
