KC lights dont work
My lights dont work anymore.
I was thinking about moving them.
You know how on the back of the light switch there are two intentions were you place your screws to keep the switch in place. Well I had a normal screw driver and I was unscrewing them to get the switch loose. After I did that the lights stoped working.
What could I have messed up. Could I have blown something or what. I checked the only fuse I know of by the battery.
Please help!!! I hate not having them.

If you have a test light or VOM back probe the relay terminals. with everything off you should only have power at Term. 30. With the switch on you should have power at term. 30, 87, and 85 or 86 (either 85 is power from switch or 86 will be, the other will be to ground). To do a quick check jump terminals 30 and 87 at the relay and the lights should come on. If that works try jumping 12V to the control terminal of the relay. Be careful one is ground. Make sure you jump the one from your switch to 12V. Again the lights should come on. If not the relay is bad and needs to be replaced.

As dumb as it sounds, check your ground connection. My aux lights went dead last fall and I never got around to doing anything until last weekend. I redid my wiring from the battery to the lights (figured when I had originally wired them up, it was a quick half assed job). Well when I finished it I tried the switch and nothing. After rechecking my connections and using a multimeter, I found out my ground connection came loose in the connector itself.
Turns out I just needed to tighten up the wire connector, but at least my wiring is done right and loomed up.

you can also hear the relay switch on if it is good.
Have somebody flip the switch while you are next to the relay and if it is working you will hear a click

Thanks Jake
Thanks Jake
If it was wired per the KC wiring diagram then brown is ground (top), green is feed to relay (middle), and white is power (bottom)
