Spottie troubles

Post by ethann »

Howdy,

Seeking some advice yet again lol.

Main reason being, I haven't really had much to do with setting up spotties.
When I bought my Mav it already had Light Force 240 Blitz on it and they worked fine.
After awhile on decided it didn't want to work again, Thinking it was a blown globe I checked that out and to what I could see it was fine.

Left it for awhile because I didn't know what I was doing.
So today after putting my new Speco temp gauge in (Just replaced the other no name Farenheight style one) I decided to go searching for the problem. I un bolted my LHS spottie and plugged it into the RHS plug and it worked fine. So I followed the leads back to the power source, And I worked out there connected to my AUX Battery, Re newed all the connection at that end just to figure out that didn't help. So now back to the relay box, It must have something to do with that.

I'm not sure if its the standard one that comes with LF spotties or what but I'll try to get a picture tomorrow in day light then you guys might be able to help me.

On the positive coming from the spotties them selves into the relay I swapped them around and it just swapped with spotties worked, So still one works and one doesn't. Grr.

I checked the fuses on the relay, They are 30amp fuses that seem fine and I swapped them over and they worked fine.

So where else can I go from here?

Any help would help =)

dont know that particular relay, but if its one with 1 input from the battery, and a wire going from the relay to the left spottie, and a wire going to the right spottie and one isnt working, and one is working but not the other, its not going to cause any problems if you just piggyback one spottie wire off the other. Those relays with one input and 2 output pins dont have twin connectors generally, they just have them wired together inside the relay. Just make sure the wire from the working relay pin to where the spottie wires are joined is capable of handling 15amps or so.

clear as mud?
