Initially I was tapping into the wire that goes into the turn signal switch.

I used a multimeter to see if any of these wires had a constant 12V flow when the signal was on, and none of them did, they all fluctuated a pulse based on the signal. Is this a result of the relay sending out the pulse? If so, do you know which wire that goes into the flasher relay has a constant 12V source when a signal is activated?

You can't use the turn switch as is. You have to pull the switch off of the OEM circuit.

Cut the 3 wires going to the turn switch.

Battery - 12A fuse - pin 2 of switch

Use 1 relay. When the switch is left, this relay will connect the green/black to the light green/black wires on the stock circuit.

Use another relay. When the switch is right, this relay will connect the green/yelow to the light green/black wires on the stock circuit.

I assume you know how to do this. switch and ground to 86/85. 2 wires to 30 87 as appropriate.

It should work like stock.

Now you can tap the switch for constant 12v.

Makes sense, I was trying to incorporate the OEM circuitry while trying to figure this out. I think I'll just leave mine the way it is for now. But applying this step I think only 4 relays would be needed. (plus the 2 for this procedure, so still 6 total, but would require a different wiring scheme all together within the relays).
