Does anybody know how to wire this - colored fog light switch?
I am trying to replace the switch on my fog lights and the supplied wire diagram just doesn't make any sense to me. The simple off / on push button switch works but I wanted to be able to distinguish off from on a little simpler. I got this two color latching switch from Amazon but I can't get it to work. The diagram doesn't help because it seems backwards to me. Red is the negative and black is the positive on this switch for some reason. I got the switch to work but only one color which defeats the purpose of doing this. Can anyone offer some guidance?
I'm not sure I understand the problem.
C is connected through switch to NC (cormally closed) or NO (normally opened).
NC is always connected with 3 and NO with 2.
Does this switch have LED lights in it, or LED will be connected by you? Having URL to amazon would help .
The answer is in the schematic in this photo. 1(RED WIRE)- ground, C(white wire)- 12V+, 2(black wire)- LED +(connect to NC), 3(green wire)- empty, 4(grey wire)- connect to C(4 is not shown in schematic), NO(blue wire)-connect to light, NC(brown wire)- empty. 2 and 3 can be swapped between NC depending which color led you want lit.
RED wire - ground
White wire - 12v+
grey wire - connect to white wire(lights switch all the time)
black wire - connect to blue wire(changes led color when switch pressed)
blue wire - also connects to aux light(sends power to aux light)
green wire empty
brown wire empty
