cchenf50 Posted March 31, 2016 Report Share Posted March 31, 2016 I just installed a set of eBay DRLs on the wife's edge. They look just like factory ones but have turn signal function like the drive brites. I have all wires spliced except for one that requires an ACC wire that is hot with the ignition. Can any of y'all suggest which wire to use. The supplied lead is approx 1' foot long from the battery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omar302 Posted March 31, 2016 Report Share Posted March 31, 2016 Why didn't you just try with a dealer to program the DRL? It's a simple program by dealer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cchenf50 Posted March 31, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2016 Closest dealer is about 1.5 hrs away. I just need an ignition switched wire to get me by for the time being. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheWizard Posted March 31, 2016 Report Share Posted March 31, 2016 There are a few fuses in the under-hood fuse box that are ignition controlled. There are also a couple of empty fuse slots there that are ignition controlled. If you have a test light or multimeter it will only take a few minutes to determine which ones you can use. You can get "Tap-A-Fuse" pigtails from your local auto parts store that will allow you to piggyback a new circuit with a separate fuse onto an existing fuse in the box.

cchenf50 Posted March 31, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2016 Any idea of which number may not have a fuse but have power? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheWizard Posted March 31, 2016 Report Share Posted March 31, 2016 Sorry, I don't. I don't have the Edge anymore to look at and I couldn't find where I posted a slot number a couple of years ago. I know I did find an empty slot that I used to hook up my DBL lights because I wasn't happy with the instructions that recommended using an existing fuse... I just don't remember which slot. If you have a Harbor Freight store nearby, you can pick up a digital multimeter for about $5. Or a test light will cost about the same at most auto parts stores. Then it's a simple matter of going through the empty slots with the ignition on to find which have power then turn off the ignition and check the slots you found to see if they turned off as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cchenf50 Posted April 1, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2016 Thanks for all the help. Ended up testing them and using #89. Didn't realize that there were some that were unused. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
normcloutier Posted April 2, 2016 Report Share Posted April 2, 2016 I ran the wire into the fuse box and added another outbound point. That's what the 3 amp fuse is plugged into. Nice and neat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
