Hmmm...but on the other hand, the jumper is just acting like the battery. Power is supplied constantly by the battery though, and used when the button is depressed. The only difference here is the jumper only see's power when the high beams are activated...sooo...high beam, power supplied, still need to push button. Right? When the button is pushed, IT is soley responsible for completing the circuit, not the high beam, it's just the "battery".



But I am still nowhere near the answer I need. As soon as Modifry chimes in, I should be able to complete the install. Once I have the "power" correct, then I will be able to see if the button needs to be depressed or not. My guess is yes.

sounds like your jumper is between the + and - inputs on your remote. remove that jumper!!! Find the contacts for the switch/button and solder the jumper across the contacts. This will effectively make your remote 'always on' -- whenever power is supplied, it will transmit. This is exactly what you want, since it will only see power when the high beams are on.

Can you post pics (front and back) of your circuit board? You can email them to me if you like

I agree with SC_Highlander, you have to "defeat" the switch. If you jump the input and output, then the current is not flowing through the rest of the circuitry in the remote. That circuitry not only activates the transmitter, but also provides resistance. Without this resistance, a short is created and the fuse blows. Find the two contacts on the circuit board for your remote that represent the button being pressed, and solder a wire across them.

Keep at it, as you will really like the results when you are done.

 

I REALLY APPRECIATE ALL YOUR INPUTS!

I just got home, and took a shower...hadn't checked my email yet, and started thinking about the way I had it wired, and the way that Modifry describes step #2.

The clue was the part where he states that he cannot show the jumper due to different style remotes. I thought this as odd because I was thinking the jumper was for the battery terminal (not the switch) which is obvious. But after going over that step in my head I realized that he cannot show it because the jumper is for the switch/ button on the remote.

And now after reading all your comments, it gives me the support for what I was thinking.

THANKS AGAIN TO ALL! I WILL BE COMPLETING THIS IN THE MORNING!!
