I would consider contacting who makes the switch instead of the relay harness.

I would confirm you are getting a full 12 volts at the end of the white wire to the switch.

You could also try flipping the white and blue wires going into the switch. There could be a very small chance that might work.

I tried this with no luck. I will contact both of them so that my Monday feels productive.

I've had no luck with contacting either company. Superbright wouldn't provide support because their harness wasn't the issue and CH4X4 wasn't much help. Easy solution - I ended up ordering a rocker switch from Superbright for $9.98.

Bad switch. Electrical guru at work tested it for me. Will be contacting CH4x4.

well i didn't mean for you to go and buy new tools.... but at least now you can troubleshoot any electrical problem.

first thing you will need to do is make sure the wires are not live. make sure the power wire from the battery is disconnected and the switch power source for the switch. you can leave the ground wire connected on the harness.

starting with the switch. you need to verify the correct wires being activated when the switch is in the on position.

with the voltmeter in the continuity setting, test wires on the switch.
test wires 1 & 2 - make sure you cycle the switch at least once. this will make sure the switch wasn't in the off position.
if you confirm those wires are "connected" in the ON position, then these will used to activate the relay.
if you confirm those wires are not connected, then try testing 1 & 3 the same way.

if this results with no connection.... then you have a bad switch.

all the diagrams have pins 1 & 2 going to the relay and should be the ones that show connected.

There was no continuity between any of the connections on the switch. I emailed them and they made good by refunding my money. The switches I ordered superbright work fine.

This is old news but it turns out that the switch was bad. Everything is in working order now.

Connect the white wire to the green then the blue wire to red wire closest to green black to black the the third wire which is also red is for the switch light to aluminate the switch that's how my worked
