The harness has two parts: one that connect the lights and another that connects from battery to lights to switch. I’m using the connectors that are on the harness except for the switch, which I'm replacing with the Rago OEM switch.
The Rago switch includes the following instructions:
Switch Green - main power (black)
Switch Red 1 - Relay power (red)
Switch Red 2 - connect to dash light circuit to have light illuminate
Switch Black - Vehicle Ground
The included harness has a black wire, a red wire that is fused to/connected to the black wire, and a second red wire that is disconnected but is part of the wire.
I have made the following connections.
Black wire from harness to switch green.
Red wire (that was connected to/paired with the black wire) to switch red 1
Red wire that was NOT connected to the black wire to switch black.
I'm getting no love. Fuse looks intact.
Am i missing something?
TIA

After a buddy of mine came over, we figured out the following:
the separate red wire is main power
red/black is relay power
black is ground.
We wired up the included toggle switch and it seems to work, so there's something wrong with the switch. dang it. Had to replace the fuse too.
So, for those of you who haven't done this yet, two things to keep in mind:
1. have a voltage tester or multimeter so you can confirm which wires are which.
2. you may want to have a backup fuse in case you blow it.
3. cut a large-enough hole in the rubber grommet for your wires. don't try to squeeze it through an existing hole: you'll just pull the grommet out of alignment in the firewall.
Now, I'm waiting to get in touch with Rago to see if they'll ship me a new switch OR if i did something to blow it and need to get a replacement anyway.
