Wiring in a new light bar, blew a fuse. Here is why. Here are the brackets I used: www.utvinc.com... Here is the light bar that I used: amzn.to/2Y7J9jS
To hook up any high-current accessory like a light bar using a rocker switch, you should always use a relay. The keyed accessory positive terminal on the far left of the busbar should only be used to close and open the circuit in the relay via the rocker switch.
You can add a relay if want your light bar to turn off automatically. With the key. It is very common with adding accessories to any vehicle. 18 xpt dynamix 2 seater owner ;)
Irritating all those kits come wired up so they only have the option of being wired to a keyed source for all their power. I too burnt out the fuse wiring a lighted whip and light bar off that post. I just switched it over to the battery post and rewired the back of the light so the led only comes on when the switch is on. I do like the idea of being able to turn on the light without the key on tho. Didn't think of wiring the way you suggested.
Sasquatch lights need to be infrared 940nm and at least a gen 2 night vision goggles their hair is lumichromatic and absorbs most other light instead of reflecting but dont let them know you can see them as they will quickly adapt
Adding lights to my new 2019 Turbo S.....running aux lights key on, and adding a simple 30 amp Bosch relay off the "Key on" hot.....and running that to a 4 gang fuse block....
Were there any issues when you ran the auxiliary cable to your light switch? And when you ran the hot wire to the battery it will not drain your battery correct?
I changed my 10amp fuse to a 15amp fuse and both my light bars come on at the same time. I'm wondering if it would get hot all the time or not but works for now.
Hey again, I commented earlier and you responded. I figured I'd try my luck again. I switched my positive cable off of the left post to the right and it appears to be working, but my switch is staying lit like you said it would. I have a super ATV switch. Is it going to hurt my battery enough if it always stays on? Is there a simple fix?
I just wired mine tonight and my fuse didn't blow. Not saying you are wrong because if that is only 10 amps i need to move it but again no fuse was blown
MrCovain every light bar is different. Mine drew more amps than yours because of make or size or whatever. That being said, it is still a 10 amp fuse. I also have a street legal kit that pulls some amps too. That might be it.
@@BryanHansen I'm looking into it now. I don't wanna blow a fuse at the wrong time. Lol. I got the light bar when i bought the rzr so not sure the brand. I might have to get my tester out
@alllstr wow. I've been out multiple times and rode with mine on for hours at a time with no issues. I have my light bar, windshield wiper pump, and my radiator bypass switch all wired to mine
I wired mine exactly how you said not to because it's how superatv said to in their video and it worked for a couple nights but has now blown a fuse I'm sure and the winch and lightbar don't work. Where is the fuse/ what needs to be done to solve issue for when I rewire it?
@@BryanHansen yes sir. The light bar and whips worked fine for two nights. But they were wired to the smaller accessory stud. Then one night they went dark. Switches and lights. Accessory relay and fuse are not blown
@@nelsone.castro881 yes, that is what I would start with checking. If there is no power, there is a problem with the relay not getting power with the key acc position.
The problem is I have a wiring kit with a relay and I don’t want my light bars to be able to be turned on without the key in it. How do you wire it to only turn the light bar on when the key is in it then?
Next to the battery. If you have a two seater it’s underneath the driver seat if you have a four seater it’s on the driver side rear seat. Pull that in there is the fuse box right there.
You need to run it one of two ways. The bus bar under the hood has an accessory post and a continuous power post. You need to run a relay that is powered to the switch off the accessory post and then the power off the relay to the continuous power post. If you don't run it to the continuous power post you need to run it direct to the battery, but you still want the switch ran to keyed accessory power.
My moms bus bar in her 2019 900 s rzr does not have power to her bus bar. Not sure which rzr’s come with that done already, but i had to to run the wires straight to the battery. Guys do their videos and say go to bus bar on acc and grnd which makes zero sense. I got the light bar going though.
@@1980Nathanmiller That’s because they have blown the accessory fuse to the bus bar. Don’t run the wires directly to the battery. Run an auxiliary wire and then switch it from there
@@beto.7996 driver side front, look under dash and you'll see a cover for fuse box. Pop it off. Under the cover you pop off is the fuse and relays labeled.
