I have mounted the Nilight led pod lights to my rear bumper, wired the relay exactly like I saw in this video (Wiring Auxiliary Backup Lights), but I have some questions and some issues.
I have 4 switches in my dash board, using the open space just about the shifter on my Outdoorsman. I have all 4 of them wired for all 3 connections (ground, accessory and power). I only connected 2 as that is what I need right now.
1) Do i have to connect directly to the battery with an inline fuse?
- If not, can i connect to a switched fuse in the fuse box?
2) I tried the fuse method, I get a connection when the car is in accessory/on,
but it turns the switch on even when the switch is in the "off" position,
meaning the led lights up.
3) I am not sure what to troubleshoot, as i have double checked all of my connections, which were made using butt connectors that were crimped together.
If you can offer any help that would be great! I want to ziptie all the wire and get it all put together asap.
