switching drls

from your diagram F5D_lights sir, that is all i have done at this time and yes sir +DRL is the one tapped to IGN (my power window fuse under hood). is there are required rating there, i used tap-a-fuse and i think i have 15 amps installed.Noob Forever ....

I've revised the diagram to avoid confusion, now 3 x 1N4004 to hopefully cure any problems. 821_lights.bmp

thank you sir for bothering to make a new diagram, is it possible to get the one without the handbrake too?Noob Forever ....

may i ask sir how do i do the diode between 85 and 86? between the wires or should i solder it between the terminals?Noob Forever ....

Solder.

sir its getting really frustrating. i followed the new diagram with two diodes (i could only find 4006 at this time but the seller said they are all the same from 4001?) and still the drl bulbs goes on with the park lights. i did not solder the diodes yet since i could not make this work yet, there is continuity though so i thought that's just fine at the moment? i tried a test where only drl (30) and ign (87a) are connected to the relay, i thought it should work since its NC but no dice.Noob Forever ....

i have been reading up some more on relays and, i think, there is some serious breach in my units - i found this from another site: i checked the schematic on the side of mine, and - there are two (2) 87s and no 87a, both are NO. i don't think this a fluke but never thought and saw that something like this exist before?Noob Forever ....

Oh yes there are two types the one shown and another 87b with isolated outputs. Hopefully that might solve the problem.

i am sorry sir but i do not understand anymore, what will solve what problem? and i do not know any 87b, could you kindly please elaborate?Noob Forever ....
