how to wire fogs to blink with alarm?

[twitchE36]

I remember seeing a thread a couple years ago that shows how to get the fog lights to blink when using the keyless entry but I can't seem to find it. Anyone happen to have a link?

Anyone

If the corners block, then run a wire from there to the fog bulb, but put a diode in so as to not cause a problem with the normal fog light operation. It should be very straight forward

It should be very straight forwardI'm sure your suggestion is well meant but have you calculated some of the currents involved and their consequences? I think you'll find that you really, really don't want to do what you propose without a high current relay between the corner lights and the front fogs. Then there's the issue of when you use a turn signal.

The question was to simply flash them. If there is a concern, put an in-line fuse in each turn signal circuit. The danger would be if the lights were to stay on. But of course your mileage may vary

My turn signals do not blink either. Only the interior lights come on

as far as a simple flash goes in the time fram of voltage and current this is an eternity ...it would cause just as many problems as turning them on and leaving them on....most of those bulbs draw over 4 amps each...you need a relay to handle the current.

As I was driving home, I realized none of this would work. Regardless of the setup, we would only manage to make the fogs mimic the signals - in every regard. To make the fogs blink, but otherwise be independent of the turn signals will require wiring directly to the alarm module. Sorry if added confusion

I believe you have to code the car to have indicators flash n if u want 2/1 flash for lock/unlock or vice versa...I was looking into this last week check out the diagnostic section
