Interior Light

[bhinderharminder]

Hi guys,

ive bought a new neon interior/courtesy light for the inside of my E12 corolla, i have wired it all up correctly and chect it and it all looks fine. But when i open a door or turn on the light manually nothing happens. But if i connect the light directly to the cars Battery it works fine?

Dose anyone know what the problem could be? the light is rated at 12v.

Cheers

you may find that the interia lights run at 3 volts to save power if you leave the door open so it doest run the Battery down

mmm.. if you get a 3v relay it will work. wire the 3v relay up in parallel with the interior light, then use the +12v to do your neon
