so i was at school last night and i notcied how difficult it was to always find my car haha. [parking lot is huge and with a low car your kinda covered up]

SO i was thinking, could we possibly wire up our corner lights to flash with the unlock/ lock button of our electronic master key?

mkorsu

Sure.

Use a relay from the each lock and unlock wire to trigger power to the cornering lights.

Most likely would be a single flash based on the pulse time of the lock and unlock wire.

single flash wll be fine! even for both lock and unlock. i just though it would help and be pretty nifty as well.

so is that pretty much it? ill have to do some more research on electrical

what kind of relay should i be getting?

mkorsu

12v Single pole Double throw Bosch style relay.

would i be using one relay in total or two for both doors?

what do you think is the best way to do this?

thanks for the help

mkorsu

2 relays in total. 1 for lock and one for unlock. Both can be found in the drivers door.

I will recommend that you either do a good deal of research or get a MECP certified installer or someone familiar with automotive 12v systems to assist you. You don't want to accidentally cut a needed wire or pop an airbag while probing wires under the dash.

so i was thinking about the relays. and now i thought why cant i just splice into my hazard light relay?

i was reading my repair manual and already found 4 wires total, 2 wires for each; unlock and lock

and thanks for the help. yeah i know what you mean but dont worry, im doing all the research before actually getting down and cutting. i have some experience with rewire and electrical but with nothing like this. [relays and a newfunction]

Because you said you wanted the cornering lights to flash only when arming/disarming (lock/unlock) the factory alarm. The hazard switch activates the hazard relays by allowing either 12v or ground to go to either pole 85 or 86 of the relay, in turn energizing the relay.
