no, haven't blown any LED in various configuration I've tried ... a few brain cells ....

the question is can the hella and Amazon alikes be used with functional LED without the relay ? I have no resistors on shelf ...maybe next week. Does a resistor supply the drop as a substitute for the load ? ohmage ?

I'm waiting on a FEDEX part to continue.

the issue is on side track

the other questions are on hold for more research time as I'm not avoiding
you.

A or B but not C ..... and no, I haven't connected led to load to grnd in series. I lit ank added LED for connection to power not grnd. All the successful connections here go directly to grnd thru the relay. Not thru load. I had thought. without theory, that this was connected to the total Ford system activating power to grnd. try separating application and demo in the same circuit ....

an excellent question. I needed 20 steps up from the keyboard when your question became obvious.

I give out Bcae's address to 'mechanics' like myself n they have results.


Which switch do you have? Is the LED INSIDE the switch?

the rockers I use are 3 pins as in Bcae's link above.

here is the gamut

the Chinese have road tested fat tired glass packed Ford pickups ...

All E has new stock .....stating with 'built in resistors for 12Vdc .....

why resistors ?


I give up. The pages you point to show dozens of switches. I'm not
going to try to read your mind. If you can't tell me what switch you
are using, I'm not going to try to guess how to wire it.
