Outer Limits 4x4 Board

hey
i was driving into town earlier to drop my girlfriend off home. and i switch down to low beam and my spotties stayed on. turned the lights off completely, still on. hit the switch for the spotties, still on. removed fuse. there we go. my question is. what went wrong. my guess is the rely has died or something.

would i be right?
thanks for any help.

sounds like the relay shat itself and fused.

sorry man didnt realise.

Yeah sounds like your relay did some welding... GOod time to upgrade maybe, and install an inline fuse...

i've got an inline fuse. which is smaller then the relay. but for some reason it didnt catch it.

it did it the other night as well as i drove past a cop of all places. and i pulled ova ripped the fuse out and it nearly burnt thru my hand. and it has a big bow in it. so i put a new one in and they would turn off again and it did it last night. so i dont no how a new fuse made them work right again for awhile.

This happened to me a while back and I am trying to remember the cause.............. I know I checked everything twice and was getting very frustrated. If I recall correctly (as crazy as this will sound) I think it wound up being the rear number plate light shorting out on the body or some thing at the rear

mud in the relay, mine usually just dont work at all.

wow thats weird. but it was just simple the relay had died. replaced it and its all good.
