Hello
I fitted some driving lights to the buggy the other day and I am having a few issues...
The issue is that its popping a fuse......
In my head I kinder know whats wrong but not sure how t rectify it...
I will try and explain what I have done and hopefully it will make sense
So I have a wire coming from the battery going through a fuse and to the relay..... I then have a wire going from the relay to the lights and each light is earthed
The relay now has 2 terminals left and one of them goes to an earth
The next wire is a blue wire and that goes from the relay to one side of a switch (the switch is also earthed) and on the other side of the switch I have another blue wire and it goes to my side lights.....
This is where I think I have screwed up
So from the passenger side headlight I found the cable that powers the sidelights and I took that and connected it to the other side of the switch....
I have the headlights on separate fuses (I think) and so if one headlight goes I dont lose all the lights
When I turn the sidelights on it pops the fuse to the rear number plate light and also the side light....
Am I putting too much current through it?
Should I try and find the wire that powers the headlights? But I think this then turns the driving lights off when I put the main beam on.....
Any ideas?
