Ok so ive got the factory fog/driving lights hooked up and working fine on the factory fog/driving light switch... no issues there
1995 Ford Ranger XLT Ext-cab 4.0L Automatic
Here is the issue(s) i am having
Needing to add aftermarket lights to my brush guard and ive added another Factory fog/driving light switch and cut hole in radio face plate and mounted it....
Issue i am having is that it keeps burning up
Here is my wiring so far
Hot wire from ign source to factory (added on) switch (seperate wire and source)
Grounded (spliced into factory wire next to factory switch)
Dash lights connected to switch (spliced into factory wire next to factory switch)
Then hot out to 40 AMP relay under hood of truck (seperate wire out to the relay)
Problem is the switch keeps smoking (frying, burning up) and has no output yet the factory one to my fogs works just fine??
Is there a step i am missing?? I mean there is a hot in, a ground, and a hot out to relay, (and of course the dash lights) what am i missing or adding to much??
Seems to be wired JUST THE same as the factory one???
Help please this is driving me nuts ive gone through three switches already and its frustrating. ...
Hope the pictures posted
