Thank you Jim! My address is : valeriobarone@hotmail.com
To your knowledge, has anyone ever bothered to do this, or is it just an excercise in futility?
The previous owner(s) installed a set of Aux (driving) lights (trough a dedicated relay) that are now ON when the parking lights are ON.
Legally, I believe they should come on with the High beams, so that when you flash-to-pass, both High beams and Aux lights come on together momentarily, making them more effective during the daytime. This is really the main reason for me to do this mod.
The Alfa electric circuit system is definitely different than most cars, since everything is operable without the ignition being in ON; however, this makes it a little easier to troubleshoot.
Also, is there any way to make the turn signals work only with the ignition switch ON and have the 4-way hazard operable with the key in OFF?
I don't think so, because the power would have to be available to the flasher unit at all times for the hazards to work. Do you concur?
Thanks again,
Val
