Man for the longest time I couldn't find 87 or 87a in the grizzly wire diagram till yesterday I seen a post with the word relay in it, sense I am wiring my truck I know there are relays so I wanted to learn something about them and that's when I found 85,86,87 and 30 on a 4 prong relay 87a would be a fifth on these multi purpose relays. Man don't forget to dumb this down for some of us.
Multi purpose relay is nothing more then a switch. It needs a power supply and a ground to make contact
86 is your trigger
85 is your ground
87 and 30 when they make contact completes the circuit "like cutting the wire and then touching it back together" that's my understanding and I tested it so that's what I'm going with.
So here goes my theory. when you put your bike in reverse the pod light comes on."I don't know the color,yet."
Splice wire into that wire that feeds power to the reverse light indicator light on the pod, then take that new wire and connect it to 86 on your relay. That will power the trigger.
Ground 85 to battery.
30 run ground wire to battery.
87 run wire to ground on lights.
run power wire to the light to the + battery.
So basically all your doing is grounding your back up light when you put the bike in reverse, not sure why I went with the ground though I read someone saying all the other indicators were on grounds, something like that. I think this would keep the pod light on as well.
I know it works on my bench and if you guys tried this on your bikes working or not please jump in here before some one burns up their bike. Im going to do it as soon as I find what wire in the reverse wire.
Thanks.
