    frustrated!

    hey guys.
    i've searched and searched and read thread after thread.. however im still stuck.

    scenario: wiring up a bumper pole with an 89 accord up/down switch.

    issue: now the bumper pole has 2 main wires and 2 in each main wire.
    first wire: black and red (apparently these wires tap into the parking lights for bumper pole light illumination)
    second wire: 2 yellow wires ( these wire to the switch)

    switch: 4 wires.
    black: ground
    yellow/red: +12v
    green/yellow: to yellow wire on switch
    blue/green: to other yellow wire on switch

    this is how it was explained on some thread off honda-tech. i've been told that because of the up/down switch i do not need a relay. so i wired it up this way. the issue is that the ground wire on the switch gets really hot and eventually starts burning/melting away. i honestly don't know what to do anymore. any suggestions? any help is much appreciated!!





    this is a quick crappy drawing of how it was wired.

      sorry maybe i was a bit vague.. i was just thinking maybe it's melting/burning because the wiring is not right. any suggestions for a different wiring scheme maybe? or what am i doing wrong?

          Sup man I got your PM,

          Yes the wiring isn't correct. I was trying to figure out which wires were which and when I was guessing which wires were which on a spare car battery,the wires did get hot and burned.

          DO NOT TEST IT ON YOUR CAR FIRST!

          It will be much safer to do it outside your car. You don't want to keep blowing fuses...you might damage something electrical on your car if you are getting power directly from another 12v source. (something else I will mention once I find my switch) You can use an extra slot in your fusebox so it will make your install look much cleaner instead of having wires go to your battery.)

          There are two wires on the switch where if you reverse the wires the switch should reverse polarity up and down so it doesn't matter which way you attach those...it matters how u want to face the "antenna graphic logo". The other two wires is just negative and ground.

          Lemme find my switch first and definately I'll help you out. The wire colors are different than the regular jdm switch so I gotta see it in person and play around before I tell u the wrong thing!
