[QUOTE="KateLovesPurple, post: 442179, member: 743"] The blue wire is the correct trigger for the relay. You say your fuse had melted? The fuse should just pop rather than melt. Has it actually blown or is it the holder that has melted? Check the fuse with a multimeter if necessary. The fuse must be the weak point in the chain. If you have a 30A fuse, then your fuse holder, relay, cable and connectors [u]MUST[/u] be rated at a higher current than that or you risk something burning out before the fuse does its job in protecting the circuit. Sorry if it sounds like I am teaching you to suck eggs, but I don't know your skill set. Good luck sorting it, if you need any more help just shout. [/QUOTE]
