    Trying to use a 2001-2003 OEM fog light switch with four poles and wires for a three wire aftermarket fog light system on a 2005 Tundra. The switch fits the dash perfectly, I removed the blank for the non-existent power rear window. I get 13 volts from the blue and Red on that window pigtail.847ABD43-3A76-4D06-8A70-6FF90CA42C3B.jpg
    The wire colors on the switch (shown below) are confusing: red and yellow, white and blue, green and brown, and green- all with silver dots.
    From the lights, less confusing, I have a red (blue on pigtail) black, and white

    On the switch the red/yellow and green/black(brown) are what switches the lights. The other two wires should be for the switch illumination.

    So take your blue/red and wire it to the green/black then wire the red/yellow to terminal 86 on your aftermarket relay.

    That works!
    So, I put the red from the switch to an “ignition on” wire in the non-existent power window. Now, I need help with where to wire the black from the pigtail and the two leftovers on the switch.A599248C-1A09-451C-88AF-FEA5986236E5.jpg
