Default Help RIGIDs blowing fuse!!!

Installed dually d2's. had everything wired and it worked when I tested lights. Everything tight and installed....keeps blowing 15a inline fuse. Can't figure it out. Put in a fuse, flip the switch, blown. Put in a fuse, flip the switch, blows. What's up? Any ideas?!!!

Double check you haven't switched the positive and negatives. I might've tried that one and had the same results.

All leads and wires are correct as I never moved them when I tested and it worked. If I go to a 20a would I risk messing up the relay down the circuit?

i would double check what the wire load can take with the relay is capable of. I have ran into situations where i up one size for a fuse for offroad lights. Just a temp fix i guess. I would go over anything before the fuse to make sure nothing came lose or broken wires.

I paid 318.00 from 4wheelonline.com and ordered the black covers and green covered from rigid. All together $351 for everything and I installed them.

Nice rig! Mine is identical. Not to jack your thread, but what type of steps are those? Did you have them custom matched? Anyway, the lights look awesome! I just haven't been able to make myself spend the money....yet.
