I had some heating issues with my wiring on my lightbar and I'm looking for some advice in hooking it up. Of course the company is out of business and I can't find the instructions.


So here is how it is set up...


There are 2 thick wires, red and pink(red has a stripe). The 2 wires become 4 wires, one goes to each of the 4 fuses. From the fuses the power goes the switches for the different banks of light. Then it goes into the cord to the lights in the bar. Then there is one thick solid red wire that comes back through the cord. There is also a very thin black wire that is connected to every switch. I'm guessing that is the ground for the little light in the switch.


My question is which end of the circut is positive and negative. I had the 2 wires that went to the fuses connected to positive but it just seems strange having 2 wires like that. It worked but those wires would get really hot. It melted the electical tape I was using to hold them together. This could be due to having them both connected into the one black wire and then directly to the battery. Now that I think of it, I may have used that end as the negative. After it got hot a few times, I removed all the wiring and redid it, only hooking my my radio and amp(you can kinda see the spiffy fuse block behind my hand. I never hooked up the lightbar due to the heat issue. I don't want to blow the bar by randomly hooking things up...

Here is a pic I just took.
