Ive been now stumped by this problem for a few days now, so its time to post up. I recently installed 4 kc's on my bumper and I have been trying to complete my wiring. The lights are wired 2 outside together, 2 inside together each pair going to a seperate relay. They are a spst relay, each wired with an inline fuse from the battery and seperate switch inputs. The switches are as follows, and this is where the problem is. I have 3 total, a master power switch, which when activated sends power to the other 2 switches which can then send power to the relays. The master power gets its current from a painless fuseblock by the parking brake. The fusebox is fed via a wire from the battery with another inline fuse.
The problem is that whenever i try and turn on the outside lights, the inline fuse at the battery for the fuseblock blows. The all other fuses are fine. let me make a picture, i turn on the master power switch, all is fine. I turn on the inside lights, all is fine. I turn on the outside lights, blamo, I lose both lights. Same thing even if the inside lights arnt already on. Anyone got a "bright" idea?
See here for some pics of the lights wired and the switches. if anyone needs clarification on something let me know. camera is broken so I cannot get pics at this time.
