switch panel 2.0



Second relay/switch is all wired up.
All I have to do now is run my power wire to my roll bar and then my grounds from there.

Which ones were the driving lights again?... It sounds like you got some water in one of the connectors and it is shorting out...

Driving where on the roll bar.

I tore apart the dash yesterday. Turns out the driving lights switch came undone. so I put new connecters on and then I taped up all the wires and re-routed them. Turned them on.. nothing.

turns out both of the power supply wires where not working. So I ran a single 14guage and then split it off to both switches.
