I recently added fog lights and an auxillary cooling fan and tied them into the dash to factory rocker switches from salvaged vehicles and all is well...except that I don't know where the little lights inside that come on when the switch is turned on hook up to for their power. Do they run on the full 12 volts or are the routed elsewhere at reduced power. Being they are so small, I would think the latter, but I just cut the wires when I removed them from the salvaged cars.

Thanks...

    If there is 2 wires leaving the white/plastic bulb holder in the rocker switch then you must supply the 12V and ground. If there is only one wire then all you have to supply is the ground. Good Luck!

    I've got a 740 fog lamp switch rocker in front of me. Don't know if it is different from the ones on 240's. Has three terminals on it, +, S, and 31. 31 is ground, without it the indicator lamp in the switch doesn't light.

    The light gets power from the switch internally. When the appliacne it turned on, the light gets power. There should be another wire to the light, it is the ground side. Try that.


    Good Luck,

    Bob
