So I have an LED light bar of around 110 watts. I'm wiring it using a PIAA relay and switch. So there's 3 wires coming off the switch: red, black, and white. I'm pretty sure the black is ground (duh), now which goes to the relay and which goes to the switch source (corner lights, switch power, etc)?

I currently have the white going to relay, with the red to my "switched power". The switch is lit (changes between red and green by depressing the switch), but no click on relay and the bar isn't lighting up. When I had the white going to switched power and red to relay I could hear the click of the relay but no light on the switch.

Does it matter that the relay is set up for 2 lights? As in 2 prongs going to the lights and there being only one set of wires off the bar? I don't think it should, but just double checking.

The relay, lights, and switch are on solid grounds. The relay has the power line to battery with a fuse, power to lights, then wire from switch. (and of course the ground mentioned)

I'm going nuts here and any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

:cheers:

Ok, switch looks like it has proper power, but don't hear the relay click. Tried new relay but still no power to lights or relay clicking. Could the switch be fried even though it appears to be functioning with the light changing between green and red when pressed?
