    Trying to connect my switch, but the colors of the wires on the battery cable side are White Black and Blue, But the wires for the switch are double reds, black, green? So lost. Also Believe I'm dealing with a needle bearing problem. Came up last night after a 2 inch spacer. Was fixed for a bit this morning after and alignment but by lunch time (Closing shift) the problem was back.:confused:

    No, there should be a inline fuse along with the relay on the wire loom. You can conectyo the positive side on the battery and the negative wire goes to the frame where the negative cable for the battery goes.

    Can we twist both red wires into one connector and then just connect up with the blue? Similar to what I had to do for the light bar and that worked fine. I want the switch to light up when pressed; not constant.

    Nice. No issues to report this way either? I just got this in yesterday so the add a fuse connector didn’t make sense as this kit already has one on the harness. Only reason I could see adding is if I want illumination when beans are on.

    Nope. it's illuminated when it's turned on and no illumination when it's off.
