So today I installed my winch and my dually fog lights. Wired everything up, and everything worked like it should. Except the ignition...
Kept playing with it, and its at the point where I can disconnect both negative terminals (I have a dual battery set up), reconnect them, and the jeep fires right up.
The winch was pretty straight forward, I didn't have to tinker with anything in the stock wiring.
For the Fog Lights, I set up a relay so that they would fire with the steering column switch, and not do the strobe thing when they are off that I have read about.
Positive lead for the lights went to pint 87.
Stock Positive lead went to pin 86.
Ground from Battery went to Pin 85
Fused Positive from Battery went to pin 30.
I used one relay PER light. (should I have run only one relay for both lights?)
Now on the wiring grounds. The light grounds went to their own grounding point on the body.
The ground from the stock wiring, I didn't know what to do with. Right now, it is spliced in with fog light grounds.
If I disconnect both negative terminals and reconnect them, the jeep will fire up. The only things I have connected to my main battery is the jeeps negative/positive leads, one ground wire, a positive lead to the solenoid on the main battery side.
The Aux battery has the leads for the winch (+/-) and all accessory wiring, and the aux battery lead from the solenoid.
If I connect a negative lead from the main to the aux battery, the jeep won't start at all. no negative terminal lead connecting them, will start after the disconnect/reconnect.
That's as much information as I can think to give on what I did today. Really looking for help on figuring out why i can't start every time.
Thanks for any help!
