I'm ALWAYS an "add a circuit" kind of guy... but I just wanted to try to set up an automatic DRL circuit that I didn't have to turn on and off all the time.

The idea is not new, the idea appeared to me to be simple enough, but finding the best circuit is ALWAYS the problem. (OCD)

I thought F1-41 appeared correct but reviewing the circuit it is as 120 NI stated it does have some things on it that may or may not be a problem.
F1-31 sounded like it might be a good idea, yes a DRL Circuit but it is hot ALL the time... I would have thought it would be Hot on Run but who am I !  This one does feed F2-2 Cab Box, but it had a 20 gauge wire... I don't get a warm feeling for adding current to even it is only 250nA; I have my FORD Diagram book and I am looking for a circuit that is as follows:

1) HOT on Run
2) Has a Fused System that can support additional current draw, even the small amount of a rely, and doesn't interfere with other components.
3) Isn't difficult to get to the wiring... although the Battery Fuse Box is up and open at the moment, top and bottom; no sense to put it together until I have had a chance to verify some of the wiring for what I want.
4) AND it seemed to me, wiring a vehicle was a lot easier when I was in my 30s and 40s.  LoL !

Not too much to ask is it !

I will pick a couple of circuits that look good to me and verify through the site and see if the circuits will support my conclusions.

120 NI, thanks for your input, I'm still deciding which circuit will support my "Hot on Run" status and the added current flow only one Relay (250mA) and not interfere with other equipment, any more suggestions, please ?

Later all, dealing with OCD/ADD can be troublesome fer sur !    

GOD Bless all !
