You might be overloading the relay. If I were you I would run two relays off on switch or get a bigger relay for the application you are attempting.

Well i figured out the wiring issues...we had the ground hooked up to the light bar which wasnt strong enough so by placing a better ground all lights should work....if everything goes as planned ill have pictures by tomorrow
