Hey guys, I am trying to wire some aux lights up using a relay and having an issue hopefully can be solved with a different relay maybe. Sorry this is not on a g body but on my pickup, but i have received a lot of excellent wiring help from fellow members so thought it would be ok to ask.
I want to use the cargo light switch to activate the lights but the lamp has power all the time, and the switch completes the ground which turns the lamp on. However when i wire my aux lights I am getting aux lights on when switch off (opposite of what I want)
Wiring is as follows
30 - batt pos
85 - 12v accy switched
87 - positive to aux lights
86 - trigger wire
My trigger wire is hot when i need it to be cold and cold when i need it to be hot
So aux lights on with switch off and aux lights off with switch on
Wondering if i can use a different relay or do i need to start from scratch ??
