    Noob wire Q again probably. I got the cali raised ditch with dual harness. Came with a relay. I just got a light bar. Was wondering if I could just tap into the power and relay and still have it be a separate switch.

    I’m sure you could. Just a matter of tracing the wires out in the harness.

    What does this mean?

    The bar is rated. You need the terminals to switch a fused hot that can handle that load. The coil you switch from a lower amp supply.

    If you clarify your question it will likely get answered.

    think he wants to use the line side to power a separate switch

    I guess I should start at the basics. How are people running both bars and ditch lights? Without running them both on the same switch. I don’t want to keep adding relays but will if there’s no way around it.

    Invest in a switchpro 9100 no need for relays or additional switches everything is in one nice package. Not cheap but very well built and if you plan on adding more lights or accessories like reverse or a compressor your all set up73F76B76-3316-4FF1-A860-D160EED6C809.jpg

    Yeah that looks nice but that price is an arm and a leg.
