Hey Blue:
If you'll volunteer to meet up with ElectroKen and be the 'test dummy', I'll split your gas expenses 50-50 with you for making the trip ...

I was just thinking of offering to let him use my truck for the '01 fix. Ken, email me and let's see what we can work out. I'll buy the materials if you do the work Pepper, don't worry about the gas, hon. It's gonna be a nice ride for me and Boz blue@boscoe.tv PS: It would be a great thing to show everyone at ECXC and the plant tour in a few weeks! ------------------ 2001 XE-3pk Auto Just Blue 4x4 [This message has been edited by blue (edited 05-01-2001).]

Ken, you kick ass. I'm doing this when I get home from work. When you say "always on", is that really always, or is it ignition-sensitive? ------------------ "Do not meddle in the affairs of sysadmins, for they are subtle and quick to anger." Join the Heartland Xterra Owners Club at www.hxoc.net

What's the electrical tape for? I'm on my way to the store now, will let you know the results later. If the electrical tape is for sealing up the connectors, I will use heat shrink tube instead. *edit* Ahh... figured out you can't get heat shrink tube around a vampire tap on an existing wire... As far as the wiring, if I opt for the ignition-sensed configuration, will the fog lights go on when I have the high beams on? ...or just with the lo-beams and parking lights? ------------------ "got root?"

Ken, You Da Man! Works great. I went with the purple wire, lights go on anytime. Thanks a bunch for the help! Now I have to stuff all this wire back in the column... That red/black wire coming from the firewall that you had me tape off, do I need it at all? Can I cut it off, or might I need it later? I don't like the idea of it just taped off. ------------------ "got root?" Join the Heartland Xterra Owners Club at www.hxoc.net [This message has been edited by Caver-X (edited 05-01-2001).]

Well, I guess if you guys have figured it out, there's no reason for me to take my truck down to Ken. And I was getting psyched to show off the mod ------------------ 2001 XE-3pk Auto Just Blue 4x4

Yeah, it was pretty easy. Kinda cramped for space, though. Only problem I had was that I nearly crapped my pants when I accidentally leaned on the horn... (it echos real good in the garage) ------------------ "got root?" Join the Heartland Xterra Owners Club at www.hxoc.net

ElectroKen ... remember that I am old, slow and electrically challenged ...
I just went out, did the routine with the lights ... parking lights come on, then low beams and parking lights, then low beams, parking lights and fog lights, then high beams, parking lights and NO fog lights ...
I presume the same would be true had I put the key in the ignition and moved it to ACCY or ON ...
So, if I muddle my way successfully through the fruits of your hard labor, I will be able to turn the fog lights on, irregardless of the parking lights, low beams and/or high beams, yes ?? ...
Lastly, when you speak of the steering wheel cover, you're talking about the cover over the wheel inside the cabin, I hope ...
Thanks again for all your hard work ... I'm going to pick up everything tomorrow at RS and give this a try ...

ElectroKen and Nuk'em:
ZCaptain and I spent a frustrating 2 hours last night trying Nuk'em's method ... first problem noticed was no red and black wires ... 2 red and gray wires ... best we could do was get the right headlight to turn on by itself or the foglights on without being able to get lo/hi beams ...
We felt lower than a snake's belly, so put everything back properly and I came on home ...
Later in the week, we'll try ElectroKen's method ...
Any suggestions ? ...

Thanks EK,
Did the fog light mod when I got home from work today, Worked perfectly. No 6" pigtail... I don't know if mine was an oddball but I had enough wire to connect directly. Saved my butt from a joint.

Man, I can't wait to mod my '00. I've always wanted to have control of the fog lights
Here's a quick question for you guys. Using this mod, you can very easily drain the battery. I know I've seen things in cataloges that cut off the connection to the battery when the battery's charge gets too low.
Has anyone tried one of these? Do they really work?
If so, it might not be a bad investment to save all those jumps (I've got an auto).

If anyone can get me a diagram of what to do to a 2000 X for this mod, I would be greatly appreciative.
