explorer fog light switch for aux lighting.

[Grey_04]

Ive searched but couldn't find what i was looking for so can someone shine some light on my problem?

I put an explorer radio bezel in my ranger and hooked up the factory fog lights. my question is I put an extra fog light switch in were the rear defroster normally goes. I would like to use this switch to trip a relay to send power to a set of aux reverse lights so I'm not running them all the time when i back up.

My thought is to use a relay between the battery and a second relay behind my tail light so i have full 12 volts to power the lights. what I don't know is what wire does what connected to the factory switch in the bezel.


Hope this makes sense to someone and they can explain what wires they used, I've seen this mod done numerous times but have no idea how to actually do it.
tks in advance for any advice or ideas..

So you want the pinout for the switch correct?

The extra switch is a stock explorer fog light such, yes?

THANK YOU shane96ranger, that's exactly what i needed. (couldn't rep ya till I spread some wealth around.)

what my plans are is the wire you have going to the lights I want to run to a second relay. then use my stock reverse lights to trigger that relay to turn on my aux reverse lights under my bumper.

My reasoning for that is i don't want them to light every time i back up but still have the option to use when necessary. hope this makes since the way i want to do it..
