I have bought a switch from Ford to switch on external lights. My vehicle is not fitted with fog lights, but has a dud switch with a cover on. Removing that cover I found a plug connected to that dud switch. It has 4 wires connected. Two for the illumination of that switch when the lights are turned on and the other two probably to connect to fog lights which don't exist. I have cut last mentioned wired to connect to my external lights.
The problem I have, is that if I press the switch and by keeping it pressed in, the lights turn on. When releasing the switch, the lights turn off. In other words the lights do not stay on when pressing that switch.
I don't know how the switch should work!
Can I build a gadget with a relay to keep the lights on when the switch is pressed and to turn off again by pressing it again?
The switch should power 12V with lights 50 to 60 watt.
