How To Wire Raptor AUX upfitter switches

[Nignipz]

Ok I know this is probably a stupid question to some of you I get it . I bought a 40 inch light bar and it's now mounted and everything under my hood . I ordered a rigid harness and wired it (red positive wire) directly to my red upfitter ( under my dash I did yellow to red) and grounded my black wire ( tried negative on battery and fender bolts) . Here's my issue , my light bar won't turn off. It's fully on 100 % of the time and my axillary switch in the cabin always has the orange light on no matter the position (on or off) as soon as the key is turned . Yes all my connections are fine... I hAvent soldered any of them because I was going to do that after everything is working properly ... HELLLLLLP ohhhhh and I got rid of the relay and switch that came with the harness by cutting away everything but what attaches to my bar ( so basically I just wired it strait to the up fitter)

You answered your own question, and over looked it, you used the rigid harness, wired it to your battery, and you also used your up fitter switch, you have 2-powers now. your pass through wire should go direct to light bar 12+, and ground the bar to chassis or battery.

you dont need the relay harness. just power and ground. you are somehow feeding a constant into the switch. thats why its on all the time.


and you really should wait more than an hour and a half before you complain about not getting help.

Didn't the OP say he removed the relay harness and still has an issue?

Probably after an hour and a half the battery went dead.

maybe i was slightly unclear opps , I was trying to ground it to the negative terminal of the battery... My pass through wire ( yes its connected under the dash) is connected directly to the positive wire of my light bar. first i wired my ground wire to the factory ground locations it had the same problem, next i tried a different fender ground and lastly i tried the battery terminal, all no good. So nothing is wired directly to my battery... I'm confused af

your right i should have waited longer but i have a trip planned for this weekend so i really want this to work. I cut the relay off . Its just a male connector for my led bar and a female connector on what used to be a harness with a relay but i cut it just before it would have reached it so all I'm left with is two wires ( one attached to my pass through wires and one to the fender factory gound
