Relay Wiring Diagram for Auxiliary/Reverse Lamps - 12V Switched Power Setup

Simple relay wiring diagram for reverse lamps showing 12V fused supply, powered switch trigger, relay-switched power output to two reverse lamps, and grounds.

AI caption · Photo 12 of 50

This document is a simple hand-drawn style wiring diagram (uploaded as "lamp.jpg") showing how to wire auxiliary lamps using a relay. A black square in the center represents the relay. Power input is a red wire labeled "12V Fused" from the top left. The relay case/terminal on the left is shown grounded. The relay is triggered by a blue wire labeled "Powered Switch," which also branches to a line labeled "Reverse Lamps," indicating the trigger can come from the reverse lamp circuit so the auxiliary lamps activate with the backup lights (or via the switch). The relay output, a red wire labeled "Switched Power," runs to the right and splits to feed two lamps, each of which is independently grounded. The diagram teaches a reader the basic relay-controlled lamp circuit: fused battery power to the relay, a low-current switched trigger (switch and/or reverse lamp feed), and switched output power to two grounded lamps. No fuse amperages, wire gauges, part numbers, terminal numbers, or vehicle-specific details are given; wire colors in the drawing are red (power) and blue (trigger/switch) only. It was uploaded to a 1987 Ford Bronco gallery but the diagram itself is generic.

Frequently asked questions

How are the auxiliary lamps powered in this diagram?
A red "12V Fused" wire feeds the relay, and the relay's red "Switched Power" output splits to feed two lamps, each with its own ground.
What triggers the relay?
A blue wire labeled "Powered Switch" triggers the relay; it also connects to a branch labeled "Reverse Lamps," so the trigger ties into the reverse lamp circuit.
How many lamps does this diagram show being wired?
Two lamps, wired in parallel off the switched power output, each grounded separately.
Does the diagram specify fuse size or wire gauge?
No. It only labels "12V Fused," "Switched Power," "Powered Switch," and "Reverse Lamps" — no amp ratings, gauges, or part numbers are shown.
