Sport Button Wire Tapping

3002 tii · 09-05-2015, 07:10 PM

Anyone know which color wire on the sport button would be a good 12v switched source?

Sport button (S13772)

Five (5) wires.

Pin four (4) is power. Colors: Green/Blue/Yellow

Thank you! For some reason I thought it was the brown one but I wasn't getting any power.

I've got mine pulled apart at the moment. Are you looking for constant power, or powered only when sport mode is activated?

I'm going to use the illumination to turn on my Radar-Mirror gauges.

It'd be nice to know both but at the moment only looking for a source when the ignition is on, not necessarily when the button is pushed. If I need a constant I figured I could tap the cig plug.

Why not use a fuse tap?

It's a backup option but the wire I'm working with isn't that long. Plus I already have something off slot 2 and not sure which other slot would work.
