subeman90 Posted January 3, 2006 Share Posted January 3, 2006 Using Center Light W/O Relay Written by Wagon78 from the USMB. You can make a working centerlight with a DPDT switch if you don't have the "official" relay, switch and harness. I got a 10A DPDT switch at Radio Shack that works fine. The wires below are what come from the center light braket assembly. Connect to the switch as listed below: Black - Lamp (-). Connect to chassis/Batt (-). Red - Lamp (+). Connect to Pole#2A on DPDT Switch. Black/Red Stripe - Door Motor Power. Connect to +12V Green/Red Stripe - Connect to Pole#1 common on DPDT Switch. Green/White Stripe - Connect to Pole#1A on DPDT switch. Green - Connect to Pole#1B on DPDT switch. You also have to connect +12V to the Pole#2 common on the DPDT switch. There are some slip rings inside the motor unit that provide power to the door raise/lower motor. Gaps on the slip rings are what stop the motor when the door is open or closed. If the door opens when it should close or vice-versa, swap the green/wh and green wires. Editors Note: DPDT means double pole double throw. Radio Shack is an electronics store that is in many parts of the USA in malls. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
