I hope someone can help me. Last week I connected a Slee auxiliary harness with high-beam jumper to an OEM fog switch (00550-35976).
I tested it with my hella 500s and it worked perfectly.
So this week I routed it through the fire wall and into my cabin. I had to lengthen the wires to reach the center console. I soldered them and protected with heat shrink, attached wires exactly as per past week, (light at top: ground top, hot middle, switch bottom) then installed the switch in the coin slots and found a perfect ground right under the lid to the shifters. Easy as pie.
Tried it out and... 30 amp blown fuse. Ran a long line to the original ground I used last week under the hood. Tested again... blown fuse.
The only two things I can think of that I did differently than last week were
1.) The wire I used to lengthen the hot line was 14 gauge soldered to the original 16 gauge Slee harness wire and
2.) I was drinking beer last time.
I didn't think wire gauge would make the difference, especially blowing a 30 amp fuse.
I've tried with the engine running and without.. and have also tested the beer theory... still no dice.
Any help would be appreciated!
