security light

[PARAGON]

I bought one of those security lights off Ebay that you add for more securtiy visibility.

Anyone know what circuit I tie into to for it to work like the stock security light.

If you're talking about the flashing light on the radio, you're out of luck since it's controlled by the class-2/radio circuitry. Wire in your light through a relay that is normally closed(provides current flow) until signal voltage is applied(ignition on). Whenever the truck is running, no light. Turn the truck off, light comes on.

Damn, couldn't GM at least leave a wittle blinking light out of the Class 2 data system. I mean, hell, they could have just put it on a wire with a blinker and be done with it, but Nooooooo

Do double check what voltage your new light is though, many LED's run at much lower voltages than 12v. The viper one I have comes with it's own little control box that you just out 12v to when the alarm is armed. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>I got the same one you do

So, did you get it done, or are you still on break? </div></BLOCKQUOTE>Well, first, I didn't have my truck because it was at the dealer until around noon today while I was riding around in the new Tahoe. Second, I am now down at the ranch and never made it by a Radio Shack or Auto Zone or Napa (I actually drove by a Napa on the way down here), so it will have to wait.

Third, lastly and the most important, I have to find the damn thing in my shop. I do now have some cool LED underbody lights I need to wire up also, though. I also have my switch panel I need to fab up a place to mount, finish the install of the shock controller and a host of other little things I need to do with the pile of crap on my shop table.

How long is it before the deal in Fredericksburg?

Battery POS to 30, 87a to the light, 85 to SEO ACC and 86 to ground?
