I installed a overhead video mnitor with Dome Lites in 2003 Tahoe and the Monitor has Negative Dome Lite Input. The Tahoe has Positive Dome Lights, but they fade or dimm out. I put Relay in and the Relay buzzes when the lites start to fade out. The Relay stops buzzing when the Dome lites go to 0 volts.
So I called the manufacturer of monitor and they sent me this diagram.
I just need to know the PIN s on the SPDT Relay and how to wire. I marked the diagram how I thought it should go.........Is this right?

if your tv has 3 wires for the dome light
like a red, black, and blue then they conect to your car as follows

Red from tv: black on tahoe or ground
black from tv: orange on tahoe or 12v
blue on tv: remote on tahoe or negative turn on

no relays
