    My baja design squad Pro ditch lights wont turn on. My light switch turns on blue but the Lights wont turn on. I dont hear the click either like the other led bars do. They where working just fine 2 days ago

    I changed the fuse and relay and they were both good and still they are off

    Welcome to the forum. Sounds like your switch may have gone bad. Easiest way to check is to is at the relay. See the sample relay wiring diagram below for how to bypass the switch.

    Does the relay click?
    There are two circuits involved. Batt to relay to lights to ground. And then power, to switch, to relay to ground.

    If the lights worked when you bypass the relay then the switch/trigger circuit it faulty.

    Pull the fuse at the battery, put 30 and 87 back on, and work on the other circuit until you get the relay to click..

    Also go buy a meter. They are cheap and easy to use. Helpful when you are trying to figure out electrical.
