I'm a beginner when it comes to automotive wiring, but I figure how hard can it be to splice in a power and ground wire, right? Well here is my problem. I installed a set of aftermarket fogs on a 2G Talon that didn't come with fogs from the factory, or the harness provisions for it. So the lights are now installed and I asked my shop to wire in a oem fog light switch to make it a cleaner install. Now I have the problem where it looks like they wired the ground into the stock switch and left the power going into the aftermarket button. This combination doesn't seem to work for whatever reason.
The aftermarket switch is only a 3 wire setup (red, green, and yellow). I'm assuming red is power since that seems to be the norm, yellow seems to be accessories since it lights up the LED in the switch, and finally green being it's ground. My real question is which wires I should splice on the factory fog switch side of things. I tried looking for diagrams of what each wire does, so I can splice accordingly but any help would be appreciated.
