[QUOTE="Hamm3r, post: 1207151, member: 21964"] This is theoretically impossible with a SPST...is it not? The relay itself is grounded, and the circuits are separate. the trigger circuit is simply actuating a solenoid that closes the power circuit which could be from the upfitter or direct power from the fuse block or battery...whatever you choose. The only time I see diodes being necessary is if you start goofing with DPST or DPDT relays. EDIT: I just re-read your post and I believe you misunderstood me. I am not saying power the relay with the battery and then use both the upfitter and the high-beam to trigger. The upfitter is already powered (and wired/fused for a certain amperage). Use the upfitter to POWER the relay, and the high-beam to TRIGGER the relay. [/QUOTE]
