    Hello, I followed the directions to a T.

    Now doing the switch install. Unplugged the rocker switch and cut the wire before the connector to expose what should be 3 wires per their videos, but instead I see a 4th red wire. How to I make this connection?

    Did you check the wiring diagram on the back of the box? On of the wires should be for switch back light.

    The wires they are exposing look a lot thicker than the ones I have exposed

    Hey @AZ_J were you able to get your switch wired up? The red wire coming from the wiring harness is no longer needed when installing the OEM switch, it is only used for the switch that came with the wire harness.

    If you're having any other questions, feel free to email us at info@caliraised.com

    Yes @CaliRaisedLed , everything works great! A few comments, there isn't much wiggle room with length of cable from the relay to the negative battery terminal. and also not much wiggle room from relay to the switch. Wouldve loved some extra length in either cable so I don't have to run my fuse wire on top of my fuse box and would much rather have that thing tucked away better.

    Do you have a picture of the engine bay? Have you considered running the negative to the chassis ground?
