Has the Cat Scratch Fever
Hey everyone, I am trying to wire some tailgate LEDs to a toggle switch. I have done this before with running board lights but for some reason these seem to be giving me trouble.
When I touch the switch, I get static electricity. I flipped it on and the wire going from the 3 prong switch into the fuse panel gets extremely hot. I have a ground running from the switch and it is secure. I re-did it just to be safe. No bare wire is touching anywhere. My switch is rated high enough in terms of amps (same model switch I used for the other lights), All my connections and crimping are good. I think it is important to note that a spark came from the bottom of the toggle switch.
Thanks and any help is much appreciated.
