Well I put hellas on the truck today followed the wire diagram hooked battery back up no light? Changed out the toggle switch with an extra I had still no lights, thought the switch was bad because the indicator light on the switch was not on either. Checked with voltage meter think I did that right I have not used one that many times, put it on the ohms lowest setting and it's getting power through to the switch. Any ideas would be great and I'm going to check all the splice connections tomorrow got to dark on me.
Thanks Jeremy

 

Silver bulet had the same problem. He had to ground the relay, thanks to alpheus, and also his lights

 

i scratched the relay and just wired to the battery lol

 

I grounded each light to the frame, relay to were the battery grounds and the switch in the cab that ground might not be in a good place its on the bottom of the center console were that very bottom dash cover comes off next to the extra cigaret plug.

 

man thats exactly were i put mine...

 

looks good silver I haven't seen any body do one there before thought it would be different. I'm going to put a spare in also planing to do an electric fan down the road.

 

You know whats funny. I have my transfer case shifter on the floor, and it is right there next to that same panel. I was going to mount my switch on that, hidden and out of site. But I wanted to be able to reach it easily.

 

Oh and silver, I didnt know you bypassed the relay. I must have missed that on yer post.

 

i did after i could get it to work lol and i can reach it easily lol

 

Do NOT bypass the relay and run all that power through your switch. You're just waiting for an electrical fire. They included it for a reason, so don't be one of those guys that has to learn everything the hard way. The switch isn't made to handle the current draw of the lights for any significant amount of time. It will eventually fail and they are known to catch fire when that happens.


Here is a schematic of how to wire a four post relay. It's easy.
