Hi, Im new to this site. I need help with an installation I want to do and dont know how. I got this new set of strobes in my SUV, to turn them on I just flick a switch in the inside of the vehicle. Also I got this K-9 Alarm system, it has an unused grounding cable for options(like starting remotely the vehicle or lowering the windows). I want to know if I can wire a relay or switch to turn the strobes on with this cable. The thing is that the cable just let a ground pass thru it and for a limited time only. What can I use? Thanks for any help...

Use this cicuit to make your momentary output constant. Hook the output to your control wire on the strobe power supply (some strobe power supplies only have the power input while others have power input and control wires)

quick question on that mtc diagram. is the "fused 12v(+)" constant as well or is that the one that continues to flash?
