kingsuv Posted April 2, 2008 Report Share Posted April 2, 2008 1st off, it sounds like he needs a new GF Is the switch new? did they double check all their connections?

I mean the first minute is ok but that thing just really starts digging deeper and deeper in your earhole till you cant stand it no more. Seems like it does it with relative ease....16 12's on 8 amps.........gotta love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sully Posted April 3, 2008 Report Share Posted April 3, 2008 If it is a lighted switch one of the terminals is for a ground (not used if you don't want it to light up). Use a test light or multimeter to check the rem wire going into the switch to make sure it is getting a 12v signal, if not you have more important issues to fix before worrying about the switch. take a pic if you can so we can see how the switch is hooked up.
