No problem. Just use a diode and filter capacitor and tie it to the
filament line. I've done it. It will work fine.

This sounds interesting and maybe easier than the 10,000 ohm relay
route. And drawbacks to using the filament power?

No problems at all. I use a 6 volt dc relay, a diode and a 500 uF 25 VDC
capacitor. I've done it to a couple of Rangers. It works perfectly.

Thanx, this appears to be a great idea and I am going to try it.
