Hi guys, First post and thread as a member here so go easy... Got myself an Mk2 FG XR6t ute recently and bought an LED driving light bar. I have a 12v trigger feed, from the high beam wire near the steering column, to my relay with an inline isolation switch. The light bar is pulling a 12v power feed from the battery through the relay and its grounded at a factory grounding point. Everything was going so well until I put a multimeter on the bastard and found that the 12v feed TO the relay FROM the high beam wire near the steering column has some safety protection built in? When the isolator switch is OFF the multimeter shows 12V when I turn the switch ON (connecting it to the relay) the high beam 12V feed drops to 6V? Turning the switch off makes the 6V return to 12..... It's not a switch problem as it doesn't matter which side of the switch I test voltage on. Does anyone have any ideas on where I should be taking a high beam 12V trigger from that won't be disrupted like this? Will I have to go from from the headlight, through my firewall to my switch and back through the firewall to the relay? Tell me what you know!
