[QUOTE="richg99, post: 404979, member: 4376"] Regarding your "switch blowing fuses".. Unless the switch itself is shorting out...the switch wouldn't cause a fuse to blow. All a switch does is ----touch the two ends of the positive wire together, or break them apart.---- If you want to check it out, just remove the switch...and touch the two ends of the positive wires together. The light should go on and off as you touch and "untouch" the wires. If the fuse blows....the switch had nothing to do with it. You then either have a short, or your lights draw more current than the size of the wire and fuse will allow. richg99 [/QUOTE]
