DIY headlight harness keeps blowing RH headlight fuse
So I am using bleeder's schematic
And I keep blowing the original 10 amp fuse. If I dont ground the plug, it wont blow but I still am not getting any light. This is the headlight plug that I am using them to trip the relays. I confirmed the high and low wires are going to pin 86. Anyone have a guess as to what is going on? I dont see why the fuse would trip if it has an outlet and is properly grounded. I have tried not grounding that plug and it still doesnt work. All of the grounds are on bare metal. I plugged the old headlights and they work.
So I did some more testing and there is no voltage coming from the old plug when I dont have it grounded. If i do ground it then it just blows the fuse.

Found the solution. I should have read the DIY thread in depth. Just connect the common and the grounds from the relays. They are no longer grounding. I think my sitch is still crap though because my highs dont work.
