Replying to How to install a light bar
a couple months ago I bought a light bar for my van, and after 4 days to a week it would drain my battery, then id take it off the battery, wait a couple days, reconnect, then it would do it again. and by drained the battery I mean, it would be completely dead, id take the wire off the battery, and it would start up fine without even needing a jump
I did a sketchy install where the wire went around the A pillar and down into the hood cuz I couldn't find the right hole for it through the firewall, this frayed the wire after a couple days and I think this lead to draining my battery, either that or I didn't ground it right.
Also with the wiring harness I got it has 2 leads rather than just one so I think that could have drained it too. either way I ordered the right harness this time, I got a new battery cuz the old one was already on the outs, and I know where the right hole is, anybody have experience with light bars that could shed some advice? Im not sure what im doing wrong
