alright so i am following the diagram to wire up my hellas...everytime i put the glass 30A fuse into the little holder i flip the switch and the fuse instantly blows....anybody have an idea wtf is going on with it? i have the lights grounded the switch provided is grounded.... one wire going from switch to battery for switch power....and other from battery to relay for power. im using that switch and relay that comes with the hella 500s. the switch has three prongs.
one yellow wire going from switch to relay, one green wire going from battery to switch (switch power), one blue wire from switch to seat (ground)

in the diagram that pretty much everyone has, (not hella one) it shows only two wires going to the switch....should i splice the green wire that gives the switch power to the wire that goes from the battery to the relay? or do i need a two prong switch?

any help?

 

uh....battery to relay(power in 12v)...relay to switch(activation power)....switch to relay(completes light acvtiation)...switch to ground(LED in switch)...relay to lights ...lights to ground(turns on lights)


Soemone will pos a diagram...

But you have a short with the battery to switch then relay

 

switch prongs
1 load
2 supply
3 ground

 

where do you guys with light tabs ground your lights themselves?

 

o and fuse that is blowing is the one going from battery to relay

and in the diagram i only see that one fuse...there is also a 30A fuse in the wire going from battery to switch(switch power)

 

i ground right to the body.

 

im getting so ticked off i don't know why it keeps blowing everything is wired correctly i believe. wtf

 

Do you have it ground to the frame?

 

my friend grounded the lights themselves to the light tabs lol...would that be why its blowing? i just realized that
like where you screw the light into the tab that hole i think he filed it down and stuck the wire in there

 

I would ground them differently and see if that works.

 

yeah try a different ground. i believe i had a similar problem when i first wired mine up long ago.

 

I have the same problem prolly blew 15 fuses with the lights in my grill and i have them grounded in the same place and only one does not blow the fuse, that is the lights in my grill.

 

ill try a different ground today after class if i have time because i have to wash my truck lol most of the mud came off yesterday cuz it was wet but its still gross
