I played around with it and got it all right, but i guess must have someting wired wrong.

any suggestions?


btw, this is a 3 month old battery.
You need to check resistance I believe.

I am betting its a short, especially if you had problems wiring it up. Were the lights modified at all?
How did you wire the day time running lights?
