Nissan 370Z Forum - View Single Post - DIY: Rear Fog Light Wire Via BCM and Stock Wiring

Taylortoons · 08-28-2013, 10:34 AM

I ordered and installed the rocker switch from the Zstore. I powered the switch using the yellow wire for the accessory socket located in the armrest.

Instead of using the pigtail that came with the kit, I ran the red power wire from the switch to the BCM and spliced into the orange power wire. Bingo, the light works!

Problem is, the light always works as long as the car is started. Probably because I am only using the red power wire coming off the switch and not using the black ground wire.

Question: Is the ground wire for the light also located at the BCM along with the orange power wire?
