Anyone know what the color codes are on the switch panel to the left of the steering wheel?

Would like to tap into existing wires for red illumination on my Outback Fog switch

Thanks

Couldn't find any information so ended with an add a circuit (micro size fuse) to the illumination (ILLUM) fuse. Works great, no piercing of factory wires.

If anyone is adding an Outback Fog switch to activate lights

The outback wiring harness color codes are

- Black = Ground
- White = Hot from ignition
- Blue = To activate relay for auxiliary LED (#86 on Relay)
- Red = I spliced with white wire since Ascent has always on switch backlight. If you want the backlight to be on when the switch is on, splice into blue wire.

There should be a prewired harness taped to the wires that are for the fog lights. Why didn’t you use that?

I already have fogs. These are aux led lights

I spliced the red into the green (illumination) wire from the adjacent Lift gate memory switch.... just sayin' :tango_face_wink:
