I'm going to have several electrical questions. 1st, Is pin #8, on the 14 pin plug at the relay board, the only switched 12v+ source in the engine compartment? TIA, Kent

Jerry, With the switch pulled out - on position - I have continuity from all 3 pins to the case. With the switch pushed in - off - I have continuity between pin 31 and the case. Also, when I energized pin 31 with a 9v battery with the switch pulled out - on - I am getting 9v from pins K to the case & from pin 15 to the case. The switch lights up whenever it is pulled out, as it should.
The Wt/Bl that goes to pin 85 on the relay comes from fuse #1. Shouldn't it go to ground? Otherwise the relay has 2 - 12v sources feeding the magnet of the relay.

Not sure what is going on with your switch. What resistance do you measure when you state "I have continuity between..."? I assume you're using a VOM. Try this test with your 9V battery. Configure your VOM for amps and put the battery POS through the VOM (to measure current) and the other lead of the VOM to pin K and the NEG of the battery to the case. What current do you read? Do the same with pin 15. |
