Rear Parking Lights

[gregory O]

problem is now they will not come on automatically when you prompt "R". If you
take the wire you taped and stuffed, make that wire power a relay (norm no
contact) find a +12v source to pass tie it into the light side of your switch,
there will be no back flow to the trans buttons when you manual power the
lights.
