Hella light switch wont light up

I hooked up my hella lights and cant get the switch to iluminate? The lights work but the switch wont light up, I have one wire on the middle pin to the relay, one wire to the cigarette lighter hot wire and one wire grounded, I can switch the wires and iluminate the light but then the lights dont work? What did I do wrong?

 

What kind of switch do you have? This is how I did my lights....

Stock Hella green switch.

 

Hmmmm....maybe some guys that are wiring guru's can chime in! Did you see if that switch will light up when not in a circuit with the relay?

 

when i had them on my jeep they only let while they were on ?????

 

ground the 3rd terminal to a solid ground, 1 from relay, 2 to battery... should work

 

I had two and one of mine burned out. Hella sent me in a new one with a lot of e-mails and complaining. New one worked fine. Maybe the light in the switch is burned out like mine was.

 

The light is probably out in the switch...happened to me on my Jeep. Test just the switch on a 12V source to see if it lights. You can get the three prong switches at radio shack or your local parts store no biggie.

 

Switch is good, if I switch the wires around it lights up but the lights will not! So I have one wire to ground (same ground as the lights), one wire to cig lighter for keyed power and on wire to the relay. I am stumped. will mes with tomorow.

 

Check your connections on the relay and make sure that they are in the right order.

30- fuse battery
85- ground
86- switch
87- light (pos)

 

Will check it out asap, kinda wierd the lights work fine but the switch wont light up?
