    87 - switched, fused, +12vdc

    So the wires coming from the parking lights control the illumination on the switch as well as power to the whole system? It makes sense that the system should only operate when the lights are on, but just wanted to confirm.

    Yes the parking lights provide the signal to the relay to fire the relay to provide power both the lights on the switch and the power for the actual leveler function.

    After a bit more research, pin 1 should be connected up to a (red) interior light +12vdc line and pin 2 should be connected to a red/blk wire. This allows the dash lighting to be adjustable. Seeing as I have a head unit with it's own dedicated harness, I didnt use the stock radio harness so that is where I sourced those dash illuination circuits.

    A standard 7-10 amp fuse with a matching fuse holder.

    okay. i'm going to attempt to do this myself in the near future..and im a bit confused with how everything hooks up in the picture..to confirm everything. starting off. its a power wire from the battery -> a 85-86-87-30 relay (im not sure what else to call it or if it has a common name) to the 30 spot. on the relay, the 86 get parking light positive, and 85 gets parking light negative.

    can you explain what the 87 spot on the relay is going to?

    moving on, what gets connected to the negative battery is a wire that connects pin 1 on both leveling motors, AND goes to pins 2 and 3 on the leveling motor switch. so its pins 2&3 connects ->through firewall->pin 1 on passenger side leveling motor ->pin 1 on driver's side leveling motor -> battery negative. correct me if im wrong please.

    now that should complete the relay + battery. next is finishing up the leveling motors and the leveling motor switch.

    pin 2 on the leveling motors should be connected and routed to pin 4 on the leveling motor switch yeah?

    pin 3 on the leveling motors i'm guessing goes to a connection of pins 1 and 5 on the switch? is that it? should that wire also be going to the relay or something? is that where relay position 87 comes into play?

    thank you for the help!

    pin 87 is the 12VDC source(aka battery) and pin 30 is the 12VDC output from the relay to pins 3 on the levelers and pins 1 and 5 on the switch. I had been provided that pic, the choice for white as a wire color was not mine, it is kinda hard to follow on a white background! LOL

    you could just do it yourself for maybe 10-20 bucks by following this thread..its not too hard and really just takes a little bit of ingenuity and the right parts from the hardware store. >.>

    well i have the switch on the way from honda so are any of you guys using a connector that actually bridges the pins to the wires or is everyone just hooking the wires directly to the pins on the switch and leveling motors?
