One Mopar Button, Four Lighting States: How to Double Your AUX Switches Without Adding a Single Button

# One Mopar Button, Four Lighting States: How to Double Your AUX Switches Without Adding a Single Button

**Jeep Gladiator & Wrangler owners with the factory Mopar Auxiliary Switch Panel know the struggle:**
You’ve got **four buttons**, but **five (or six) lighting ideas**—bumper lights, rock lights, light bars, knuckle pods, ditch lights… the list never ends.
The good news? You **don’t need more buttons**.
You just need **one smart relay** and **one pulse trick**.

—

### The Goal: One Button → 4 Lighting Modes
| Press # | What Happens |
|--------|--------------|
| 1️⃣ | **7" TYRI Bumper Lights ON** |
| 2️⃣ | **4" TYRI Fog Lights ON** (7" off) |
| 3️⃣ | **BOTH ON** |
| 4️⃣ | **ALL OFF** → resets |

Or swap in your **12″ light bar + knuckle pods** — same button, same sequence.

This mod **frees up an entire Mopar switch** for something else (winch? air compressor? train horn?).

## The Magic Device: DROK 4-Mode Sequential Timer Relay
[https://amzn.to/4p0Qf3z]

**Specs That Matter**
– **12V DC** (perfect for Jeep)
– **4 independent relay outputs** (5A each, 20A total)
– **0.1 sec – 999 min delay** (we use 0.1s for instant step)
– **Trigger**: Positive pulse, button, or sensor
– **Quiescent draw**: 20mA (negligible)
– **Size**: Smaller than a matchbox

> **No programming. No app. Just wire and go.**

—

## Step 1: Set Your Mopar Switch to **Momentary**
1. Uconnect → **Vehicle** → **Accessory Switches**
2. Pick your button (e.g., AUX 1)
3. Set to **Momentary**
4. Optional: Enable **Battery Mode** (works with ignition off)

Now every **quick press** = one clean pulse.

—

## Step 2: Wire It Like This (15-Minute Install)

```
Battery (+) ──[5A fuse]──┐
│
Mopar AUX 1 (momentary)──┤→ DROK TRIG
│
Battery GND ─────────────┤→ DROK GND
│
DROK +12V ←──────────────┘
```

| DROK Relay | Connect To |
|------------|------------|
| **Relay 1** | 7" TYRI Lights (+) |
| **Relay 2** | 4" TYRI Lights (+) |
| **Relay 3** | (Future: 12" bar or rock lights) |
| **Relay 4** | (Future: strobe mode?) |

**Pro Tip**: Use **diodes (1N4007)** if you want “both on” without a third relay: 
`Relay 1 (+) → diode → Both Lights` 
`Relay 2 (+) → diode → Both Lights`

—

## The Sequence (Out of the Box)

| Press | Relay 1 | Relay 2 | Result |
|-------|--------|--------|--------|
| 1 | ON | OFF | 7" ON |
| 2 | OFF | ON | 4" ON |
| 3 | ON | ON | **BOTH ON** |
| 4 | OFF | OFF | **ALL OFF** |

Want **3 lights**? Use Relay 3. 
Want **no overlap**? Skip the diodes.

## Bonus: No Momentary Mode? Add This $9 Pulse Converter
[https://amzn.to/499RWHc](https://amzn.to/499RWHc)
**DC 12V-24V Edge Trigger Pulse Module**

– Turns **latched (toggle) switch** → **momentary pulse** on **rise AND fall**
– Opto-isolated input (safe for Mopar)
– Adjustable pulse: 0.1s – 9999min (set to 0.2s)
– LED display shows count

**Wiring**
`Mopar Latched Out → Pulse Module IN → Pulse Module OUT → DROK TRIG`

Now **even toggle switches work**.

## Real-World Example (My Gladiator Build)

| Button | Controls |
|--------|----------|
| **AUX 1** | 7" + 4" TYRI bumper lights (4 states) |
| **AUX 2** | 12" light bar + knuckle pods (4 states) |
| **AUX 3** | Rock lights (direct) |
| **AUX 4** | **FREE** → Winch or air compressor |

**Result**: **8 lighting functions from 2 buttons**, 2 switches left over.
