how to: full control of your fog lights

[finald8ta]

so after reading posts from a previous thread and going to club3g and reading their threads i ended up emailing a guy about his one off device to have full control of our fog lights, he could never get enough ppl to do a group by so i ask for his schematics and he turned me to this device


IF YOU DO FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS I AM NOT HELD RESPONSIBLE

its a pac tr-7

in a short it will take a pulse input and toggle a constant output,

where can you get this device EBAY key words PAC TR-7

its real simple to use your only going to use 4 wires from this device


- disconnect battery

- remove lower kick panel
once lower kick panel is removed look at the junction box where the power mirror switch and fog light switch is
here's a pic


- on the fog light switch cut the LIGHT BLUE, wire make sure u have enough wire to work with connect the BROWN wire from the pac tr-7 to the wire coming from the fog light switch, tape off the other half and tuck it away

- on the power mirror switch splice into the BLUE wire, this is a switched source make sure with a voltmeter that this turns on with the key, splice the RED wire from the pac tr-7 to it

-find a good ground for the BLACK wire, i spliced mine into the power mirrors. it will be a black wire.

- now your going to have to extend the white wire to the fuse box under the hood, locate the fuse box identify your fog relay, remove the fuse box and take a peak at all the wires, locate where your fog relay is, look for a WHITE/BLACK wire, make sure u leave about 3in of wire going to the relay, cut it and attach the WHITE wire going to the relay, tape off the other end and tuck it away

heres a pic


- once u have everything hooked up connect the battery, if u disconnected the pac tr-7 from its main harness connect it
- turn the switch to the ON position before you go and turn the key into ACC
once that is done turn the car on to ACC and press the fog light switch 3 times, look at the pac tr-7 and it will flash 3 times, this is saying your in pulse to toggle mode, after the 3 flashes it will flash rapidly and stop, flip the switch back to off and your done

the instructions will show you how to program the pac tr-7 and the program you want is FEATURE 3

with this new configuration, your fog lights will work while the key is in the ignition, and set to the ACC or RUN positions. at this point, the fog lights will come on whenever the stock switch is pressed, and the indicator light on the dash will light. the lights will turn off if the switch is pressed again, this can be accomplished even without the headlights turned on, the fog lights will also remain on even if the high beams are turn on.


heres a video i did after i was done

[beam514]

ah I believe you mean power mirror switch, not "power window switch". I was a little confused at first before the pictures showed up, thinking you would have to run wires to the doors :P

Yea and it took me a while to get it through yo head with a relay! Lol!!

But this is what you need corey, it might be a bit complex to install but well worth it.

Yes this was mention a few weeks ago then someone posted a link to club 3g and a former member made a device exactly like this, I soon emailed him if he could make more and possibly a group buy, but turned me to this pac tr7 witch is the same thing he was building,

I asked for his original install guide and followed it only thing that was different was the relay wire Colors in the fuse box under the hood on a 3g, I just happen to shorten it up his guide abit and make it Easyer to under stand, it still uses the relay and functions like stock, I see no problems running hids but to be on the safe side ill be installing a relay harness.

I will post a direct link to my PB for the video
