For four years everything worked perfectly. I have a Blue Sea hooked up to the battery with a relay drawing power from one of the rear blue brake light wires. FJR Randy helped me with this set up. I have a four pronged relay connected as follows. One + Red from battery. One + Red to Blue Sea. One blue wire that ties into the blue rear brake light and a - black wire to the Blue Sea.
The problem is that when I pull the front brake lever or use the rear brake, both the radio and GPS, hardwired from the Blue Sea, lose power until the brakes are released. I replaced the relay and have the same problem. Before I tear out more stuff, does anyone know what is wrong? I am suspecting at this point that the wire tap into the rear brake light blue wire may be shorting but thought I would ask some people more knowledgeable than me. I have looked for this in the forum and not found anything but if the answer is here somewhere, point me in the right direction. Thanks in advance.
