I had a problem whereby the light bucket would not rise but would lower after manually winding it up. I used a check from pelican parts to jump between 87 & 30 in the relay socket (without the relay fitted)
This should jump the motor into a constant raise / lower mode in order to check the motor. It worked the motor perfectly. However when I now refit the relay it blows fuse 12 (16 amp) straight away. This never happened before and yes I removed the jumper wire first. Any help with this? |

Thanks for advice. After 3 more blown fuses I figured it was the relay. Strange though as it didn't blow before. Luckily I don't use all relays on the engine board so nabbed one off there and all things work as they should.
