Im hooking up aux backup lights. Im using the wiring harness from a set of fog lights i used to use. I hooked it all up, three grounds and two positive connections. When i first turned them on they worked fine, now when i turn them on all i get is a buzzing sounds from the power relay. I thought it might be a bad relay so replaced that but it still makes the sound and the lights dont go on. Could it be a bad switch? any thoughts would be great

that noise is cause by a low voltage in the relay, wether it be a bad ground on the relay or low voltage input (on the switch end).

is it the relay itself buzzing? get a voltmeter and check your positive conections , if the switch is bad you will not be getting power to the relay from the switch, if thats fine you want to make sure all your connections going to the relay are right, you may have the positives crossed, one usually needs to go to a 12v source and one goes to the switch. if all the conections are fine try changing the positives.

its deff the relay buzzing. I have a 12v connection running from the 12v that is right in front of the fuse box. That goes back to my cargo area and is split off and conected to the main 12v for the lights and the 12v for the switch. I have the swith ground going into one of the bolts for the drivers seat and the other two are on bolts that go into the body in the cargo area. All check all the conections and seee what happens

make sure there is no paint under the bolts that you are using to ground....also check to make sure when you hooked everything up you didn't blow a fuse or the bulbs.
