Illumination Supply Light Bar + BAMF Light Bar Mount GROUP BUY

Correct

 

Sorry to sound clueless with my questions, but which wires go to which posts on the back of the OTRATTW switch. There is a blue, a white, and a black wire.

 

Well your in luck they are going on sale at midnight tonight!

 

Received my bar today! Thanks again Calvin

 

So after melting the wiring harness and almost setting my truck on fire, i finally think I have the wiring correctly. After some help from a c2one and rockhopjohn on the forum, the guys at OTRATTW, and Calvin from Illumination Supply, i put together a diagram for people like me out there that are new to wiring. If anyone sees something incorrect, please let me know so i can fix it. Here is my set-up:

- 20" double row led bar
- Single light wiring harness
- V1B1BB0B V-series Contura V sealed rocker switch from OTRATTW

Once i cut the original switch off, i had three wires to connect to the switch (white (which is gray in the picture because of the white background), black, blue).

(NO, DO NOT DO THIS!) Originally i connected the blue to #7, white to #2, black to #3. This resulted in a hot harness, melted wires, and smoke. Not sure why the fuse didn't blow, but i disconnected things ASAP.

(YES, DO THIS!) Blue connects to #3, white connects to #2, black connects to #7 (ground = light negative).

I also mounted the relay using the same bolt that the battery's negative post is connected to a few inches away.



Thanks again to everyone that helped walk me through this. Hopefully nobody else will screw up like i did and scare the hell out of themselves.

 

LOL! Almost spat coffee all over my keyboard when I read that!

Glad to see you figured it all out and it it worked ok.

 

Great post, thanks for the diagram. Rep sent!

 

Just got mine today . Wish I could install but I got two essays to write.

 

Sorry for the delay guys, I've been really busy with the influx of regular store orders from the holiday season. The remaining light bars should be here before the end of the month. I'll start releasing some single rows for payment very soon. The 6" Slim bars should also be restocked around the end of the month. Thanks for your patience!

 

Glad to see you got it all wired up now.

 

I swore 85 on the relay is ground... not 86

For the ground you also don't have to connect your light bar grounds to it and you also don't have to take the relay ground to the - on the battery. Just ground them all on the chassis.

 

yea. these are funky. When I wired up a TW members bar I came to the same conclusion as the diagram above. Weird but it works that way and only that way.

EDIT: way to go calvin! just placed my order!

 

Replaced my 15 in. with the 20 in. today

I have neither the light bar nor Jerry's gear.

But I will say this. The guys at Illumination Supply are great; I was there for components earlier on in the week and they're good guys!

Keep up the great work!

 

got my lightbar about a week ago and finally got around to getting it in along with a new grill this weekend
