Why I send relay ground instead of 12v:

Sending ground to the relay means a shorter hot wire and maybe less chance of trouble/burned or shorted wire.....maybe less chance of voltage drop from a shorter wire.

If a long ground wire rubs through, it's only ground.....relay comes on, but no fire from shorting a ground wire.

It could also be a habit from running wires for GTE. their relays were always tripped with ground no matter what the relay was sending.

----------------------------------------------------

Different subject:

Sensor wire in case cornering light was accidentally left on resulting in dead battery.
-------------------------------

When door opens, the light inside the rear mirror comes on for 30 seconds or whatever it is set for.
that will provide 12 v to the switch panel, which sends ground if accidentally left on and combined together the buzzer should go off.

2. Steering wheel to mirror is the shortest path for the sensor wire.
...far shorter and less complicated path than all the way under the hood.to fuse box or to cornering light,

and easier to hide the wire behind the interior trim than threading it through the maze,

like I did a few days ago with the switch ground wire.

I can also manually push the light for a test without opening the door.

 

Here are some pics of the current project. The picture with the brake line and the leaf coming out is the area we were talking about. Because the Arches spring loaded every time I take the axle up it wants to bind.
Another picture is of the differential where it meets the drive shaft this is a area where there are four branches of iron sticking up/out of it that could easily be threaded and we could put a six or a 9-in bar there to run the triangulation system.
Another pic shows the bag location approximately 8 and 1/2 in from the front Leaf mount that way one inch lifts 4 in and of course at the tail my four to six inches of lift should equal about 20.
We'll talk later.

Thanks for your help last night.
This morning......


I looked up some relay wiring diagrams...many ways to wire for many things,
multiple relays, relays tripping relays, etc....


Might be useful someday.

Here are pics of the supports, some are underneath, some are where there is a quarter inch gap or more. I also included a pic of the leftover pile of metal, which you can see is significantly smaller than usual. Best of all I could pretty much do this job with my eyes closed.

• The original picture was the start and then I removed the glass cut the square out for the doors. After a welding in the doors and getting them adjusted, cut out the rear piece and replaced it with no windows metal from the parts van. Got a lot done considering I'm only in a week's time.

Feel free to post these pictures anywhere you like and of course a preemptive thank you for posting the link.
