I see different relay posts being jumped in the pictures in post #1 and post #91. Are there any reasons for the differences?
Phil is jumping power without the relay. The switch I chose is not designed to carry the full load of the circuit so I decided to energize the stock relay, therefore different pins are used.
Ok. So you put the stock relay back in once you have the switched jumper inserted in the pictured positions.
Now I understand what you meant about trimming the relay housing.

Correct, you have to trim some of the plastic relay shroud to allow room for the new wires to fit. I tinned the wires to help keep them in the socket when re-installing the relay. It will snap back in place when fully seated. I haven't had any problems and I use it all the time
Thabks heaps for that tip thst has anoyed me ever since i got the 80 defently be doing that tommorow
After doing this mod I see why you also pulled that relay to the left of the one of focus. It gives a lot better view and access while working in a contorted manner.
Yeah, it's not the easiest place to work.

Phantom load of <1watt has been located.
If you rarely drive your 80 this could of discharged your battery over a 3 week time period. By removing the lamp for the auto down button you can eliminate the <1watt load if it was an issue. Not sure how I ever found the button in the night.

LOVE this mod. Didnt realize how handy it is - especially when dealing with the truck in the driveway/garage or out camping/wheeling

That light I think is what killed my battery after being in India for over two weeks. I need to do this. Or put in an LED one

Make sure you DO NOT turn the white part upside down once apart. You will hate yourself if you do.

Questioning my life choices...
I'm about to do this, what is f all?
I believe f all is a saying used in the UK and apparently Canada. We use it in the US but it's spelled differently...LOL It means not much at all or hardly noticeable or very little.......f all. (<:
