Default Anyone Know of a wire I can tap into.

Anyone Know a wire that I can tap into so that when I turn on my headlights the writing on my E locker switches turns on? On the actual switch its pin 7 for negative and 6 for the Accessory power. But I don't want to tap into say something like the Radio because then My Locker switch writing will be on when I turn the Jeep on.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Pins 8,2,3 are being used for the actual actuation of the locker.

You think I can just steal the ground from the actual locker pin without any problems. I would just jump it from there.

For the switch lighting?

Edit: Now I know what you mean. I thought you were talking about the locker indicator ground at the dif for a Rubi. You can jump pins 7 and 8 together and run them to the nearest ground lug, like the footwell. Pin 6 to dash light source so it dims as well, pin 2 is +12V (switched or unswitched depending on your needs), pin 3 out to relay trigger (pin 85 or possibly 86, depending on how the relay is wired).

Default Hazard Light power

I think I'm going to tap into the hazard light power. The button light only turns on when you turn the headlights on.

Here is a picture of it. The larger plug is the HVAC. The smaller plug is the Hazard light and TC switch.

Anyone Know what one is the Headlight Hot? I pretty sure there is a constant hot for the button when the headlights are off because you would not be able to use them without the headlights on.

I don't think that dims if that is what you want.
