HELP wiring Baja Designs LP9 Sports to factory AUX

[FREEZE451]

I was told you don’t need the fuse there cause there’s ones built into the aux switches. I think I tried it when the fuse was in too and still no luck. And like it said it’s -20 so when I tried to open it the arm just snapped ???

But if you have a fuse in line that bridges your connection, so you do in fact unless you cut that piece out.

LOL, I missed when you said that it was - 20!

You don't need 2 fuses, but if you don't cut out the Baja fuse holder it won't work unless there is a fuse in it

So should I try cutting out the fuse holder or?

It's up to you, I'd probably cut it out. But before you do anything else just just put that fuse back in and make sure it works.

I put the fuse back in and no luck. This is so annoying ?

Damn, now I am confused lol.

I would try connecting it to another aux output just to verify.

Without a DMM or test light you're kind of shooting in the dark. You did say you heard a click, so it sounds like the relay is working.

Yea every time I click the third button I do hear a click in the hood. Also. When I have them wired to it. I can turn on aux 3 without any power and the button will light up. But none of the other ones will. So it’s like the button recognizes that it’s got something hooked up to it.

Are you using the Baja wiring harness?

It looks like that has its own switch, I'd check that next.

That harness also has a relay, so I'd make sure it's seated. You don't need both relays, but it won't really hurt anything.

There is a switch but I didn’t think it was needed. But now I’m wondering if it needs to be in the on position for it to work.

 

[Beemer533]

Yeah, it would also need to be on if it's wired into the Baja harness

Yep. Got it. Omg. The switch needed to be on. I’m so angry ?

Lol, it's annoying when it's something like that, but at least it was an easy fix.

Doesn't help when it's -20 out either.

Glad it's working for you.

I feel like an idiot. But I should be so hard on myself. I went in to this knowing absolutely nothing. And yea it’s coldddd like. Holy. I think it’s -25c now. I live in central BC so it’s like a super bad cold snap right now. Thanks a lot guys. Saved me some dough at the dealership.

I've done some work up in ft St John and prince George area years ago, it's probably the coldest I've ever had to work in outside lol.
