Alright here is the deal. I installed my DDE's. Not really a problem...had to do some griding cause of my bosch healights...damn bmw!!! Anywase they went in no problem really. Took me forever to figure out how to get the lights off..but anywase. They are in and they work...or did. I had city lights wired...and i just sorta disconted that and hooked up the DDE's cause i was out of time and needed the car. I came back and started my whole re wire job. I am putting switches in the pannel that covers the sunroof motor. Anywase i put 4 switches up there. Im only gonna use two for now. The other two will be used for some stuff later on. When i get the cash for it. Anywse I cant get it to work!!!! Blaaa!!!!! I ran 4 wires up to my switches. Two for each switch. I have relays. By the way the switches are one for city lights and the other for the DDE's. So im a retard and im not really sure how to wire the relay, so i wired it how i thought i should and it didnt work. So i said hey ill just see they work without the relay. And they didnt.
So heres what i think is wrong. I am trying to get my power from the jump point in the engine bay. Is that wrong??? It almost seems like there is no power. I have the power from the jump point into the power in poiint on the switch...then another wire from the accesory point on the switch into the DDE's. Each DDE is grounded. And it just doesnt work.
Alright so....am i not getting power or what? I know its not the switches cause i even bypassed the switch!!! And if i am not getting power from that point where can i get the power from. Also. Can i get a tip on wiring these relays. They are a basic automotive relay. I feel like the biggest retard, considering im a electrical engineering major!!!
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I really need to get this workin tommarow. Thanks in advance!!!
