Dodge ram 1500 2004 with front day lights on when ignition turned on How do you wire spotlights to come on with main beam,I wired up to the high beam wire through a relay but once I go to high beam and then back spotlights stay on!! Please help Rob
You've got the wiring confused. Just back over it again as though it was your first time. We all miss things.
Hi mark I have gone over it several times the spots are earthed the live goes to the relay from the battery I have earthed the relaying have taken the switch wire down to the headlight there are 3 wires I turned the lights on ignition off on dip found the live then flicked on to high beam and that wire went dead I then found the wire live when on high beam retested to check then connected the spots wire, I switched the lights off on on checked dip then on to high dip went off high came on spots came on great job done!! Started engine day headlights came on reduced power as stated in manual ,turned lights on sidelights fine then on to dip fine then high beam spots come on with high beam fantastic, back to dip spots stay on!! Switch lights off so just day lights on spots still on I have to disconnect the wire for them to go off, rob
I'm sorry, I'd need to be there and think it out. As you see it isn't a simple one to figure out. But I would go to one of the Auto Zone type stores and some of the guys are car guys. But the others there just needed a job.

I am not sure for which wires set you are looking for.
You can go to www.autozone.com then go to repair info, and you can find your free online repair manual.

Try http://www.etrailer.com/faq-wiring.aspx. If it is factory installed, there should be a plug in next to/behind the parking brake pedal... at the top. Not easy to see or get to.

Here's a link to a pdf file containing the headlight wiring diagram for your year model Dodge Ram 1500..
I can't help but notice that you say you've replaced the headlight relay? That's quite odd, because there is NO headlight relay on this vehicle- only a 40 amp fuse located in the power distribution box that sits behind the battery inside the engine bay.
The switch is notorious for burning out because there is NO RELAY on this vehicle, and there is a recall (#819) but this only affects 3500 models even though the headlight wiring is the same for 1500,2500 and 3500 model Rams.
Here are two more links that will help you troubleshoot your headlights problems.
