Wiring in a new light bar, blew a fuse. Here is why. Here are the brackets I used: www.utvinc.com/utv-inc-polari... Here is the light bar that I used: amzn.to/2Y7J9jS
To hook up any high-current accessory like a light bar using a rocker switch, you should always use a relay. The keyed accessory positive terminal on the far left of the busbar should only be used to close and open the circuit in the relay via the rocker switch.
You can add a relay if want your light bar to turn off automatically. With the key. It is very common with adding accessories to any vehicle. 18 xpt dynamix 2 seater owner ;)
Irritating all those kits come wired up so they only have the option of being wired to a keyed source for all their power. I too burnt out the fuse wiring a lighted whip and light bar off that post. I just switched it over to the battery post and rewired the back of the light so the led only comes on when the switch is on. I do like the idea of being able to turn on the light without the key on tho. Didn't think of wiring the way you suggested.
Adding lights to my new 2019 Turbo S.....running aux lights key on, and adding a simple 30 amp Bosch relay off the "Key on" hot.....and running that to a 4 gang fuse block....
Were there any issues when you ran the auxiliary cable to your light switch? And when you ran the hot wire to the battery it will not drain your battery correct?
I changed my 10amp fuse to a 15amp fuse and both my light bars come on at the same time. I'm wondering if it would get hot all the time or not but works for now.
Hey again, I commented earlier and you responded. I figured I'd try my luck again. I switched my positive cable off of the left post to the right and it appears to be working, but my switch is staying lit like you said it would. I have a super ATV switch. Is it going to hurt my battery enough if it always stays on? Is there a simple fix?
The problem is I have a wiring kit with a relay and I don’t want my light bars to be able to be turned on without the key in it. How do you wire it to only turn the light bar on when the key is in it then?
You need to run it one of two ways. The bus bar under the hood has an accessory post and a continuous power post. You need to run a relay that is powered to the switch off the accessory post and then the power off the relay to the continuous power post. If you don't run it to the continuous power post you need to run it direct to the battery, but you still want the switch ran to keyed accessory power.
My moms bus bar in her 2019 900 s rzr does not have power to her bus bar. Not sure which rzr’s come with that done already, but i had to to run the wires straight to the battery. Guys do their videos and say go to bus bar on acc and grnd which makes zero sense. I got the light bar going though.
@@1980Nathanmiller That’s because they have blown the accessory fuse to the bus bar. Don’t run the wires directly to the battery. Run an auxiliary wire and then switch it from there
I wired mine exactly how you said not to because it's how superatv said to in their video and it worked for a couple nights but has now blown a fuse I'm sure and the winch and lightbar don't work. Where is the fuse/ what needs to be done to solve issue for when I rewire it?
Sasquatch lights need to be infrared 940nm and at least a gen 2 night vision goggles their hair is lumichromatic and absorbs most other light instead of reflecting but dont let them know you can see them as they will quickly adapt
@@beto.7996 driver side front, look under dash and you'll see a cover for fuse box. Pop it off. Under the cover you pop off is the fuse and relays labeled.
I just wired mine tonight and my fuse didn't blow. Not saying you are wrong because if that is only 10 amps i need to move it but again no fuse was blown
MrCovain every light bar is different. Mine drew more amps than yours because of make or size or whatever. That being said, it is still a 10 amp fuse. I also have a street legal kit that pulls some amps too. That might be it.
@@BryanHansen I'm looking into it now. I don't wanna blow a fuse at the wrong time. Lol. I got the light bar when i bought the rzr so not sure the brand. I might have to get my tester out
@alllstr wow. I've been out multiple times and rode with mine on for hours at a time with no issues. I have my light bar, windshield wiper pump, and my radiator bypass switch all wired to mine
@@BryanHansen yes sir. The light bar and whips worked fine for two nights. But they were wired to the smaller accessory stud. Then one night they went dark. Switches and lights. Accessory relay and fuse are not blown
@@nelsone.castro881 yes, that is what I would start with checking. If there is no power, there is a problem with the relay not getting power with the key acc position.
Next to the battery. If you have a two seater it’s underneath the driver seat if you have a four seater it’s on the driver side rear seat. Pull that in there is the fuse box right there.
Hands down best to the point video I have seen. Thank you.
Thanks for the info! Gonna install a light bar for mine this weekend.

Did you ever do a follow up on this?

Did you ever make the other video?
Did you install a 30" or 32" lightbar?
What 10 amp fuse is the one that will show blown ?? In the fuse box
Adding lights to my new 2019 Turbo S.....running aux lights key on, and adding a simple 30 amp Bosch relay off the "Key on" hot.....and running that to a 4 gang fuse block....
Titantramp4u that’s what I eventually ended up doing. I bought a vent racing fuse block and love it.

Eddie Castaneda not at all. The switch was relayed.
I changed my 10amp fuse to a 15amp fuse and both my light bars come on at the same time. I'm wondering if it would get hot all the time or not but works for now.
You risk burning up the wiring that runs to the fuse block and other lights.

It is going to drain your battery and it won’t start. The simple fix is adding a relay like the video states.
Smart!
I did the same mistake and now I nees to know how to replace that accessories fuse that waa blown how did you fix yours??
Were did you get the extra fuse
Did the same thing
The problem is I have a wiring kit with a relay and I don’t want my light bars to be able to be turned on without the key in it. How do you wire it to only turn the light bar on when the key is in it then?
Pretty easily actually. How many wires are coming off your relay?
@@BryanHansen 3 white blue and black
@@AOT-offroad that is what goes to the switch. Is there just a black and red for the other pair? What model of wiring harness did you get?
@@BryanHansen yes just a black and red coming off the relay to a power and negative. Inline fuse in the red line.
So what your hookinh into for power in the front do you first need to run wires to that from your battery ??
You need to run it one of two ways. The bus bar under the hood has an accessory post and a continuous power post. You need to run a relay that is powered to the switch off the accessory post and then the power off the relay to the continuous power post.

On mine under the steering wheel to the left in a water tight box
@@BryanHansen ok thanks, I thought I checked most of the fuses there. Should it just be a 10amp fuse that is blown?
@@brysondouthit1245 yeah it should be in that cluster
@@BryanHansen thank you, I will look again tomorrow. I appreciate the help
I'm looking for the fuse that you said is by the battery but I cant located it?

Sort of. I covered much of what I was going to in my upgrade video also on my channel.

Which fuse did you blow?
I don’t remember. It was under the steering wheel on the left if I remember correctly.
If/When you blow the busbar accessories fuse that you referenced, Where is that fuse located to replace it? (asking for a friend)
Lol. 2 seater or 4 seater?
4 seater turbo s. Just curious as well
@@beto.7996 driver side front, look under dash and you'll see a cover for fuse box. Pop it off. Under the cover you pop off is the fuse and relays labeled.

@alllstr what size is your fuse? I think mine is 20amp. My light bar probably draws less amps than yours. Running 30 inch nilight led bar feom Amazon
@alllstr is that what the cover of the fuse box calls for, a 10 amp fuse?
Where’s a link for a full install and the correct way to do it. I have no power at all to my switches and no blown fuses
Is your key on?
@@BryanHansen yes sir. The light bar and whips worked fine for two nights. But they were wired to the smaller accessory stud. Then one night they went dark. Switches and lights. Accessory relay and fuse are not blown
@@nelsone.castro881 have you ran a multimeter to the accessory stud?
@@BryanHansen not yet. Should I be getting power with the key on?
@@nelsone.castro881 yes, that is what I would start with checking. If there is no power, there is a problem with the relay not getting power with the key acc position.
Wheres the fuse location? I blew the fuse before i seen your video
Next to the battery. If you have a two seater it’s underneath the driver seat if you have a four seater it’s on the driver side rear seat. Pull that in there is the fuse box right there.
Thank you for saving me time! 👍👍
Were do you get the extra fuses ????
All I did was change my fuse to 20 amps no problem
Ditto this works as long as you have fuses on the accessories to protect the loads
Where is that fuse located ?
Changed mine to 15amps
@@arturohermosillo1571 Depends on what machine you have. RZR's have it under the driver's steering wheel. Usually says "acc" 10amps
Your light bar 32"
