I know. I’m pretty sure it’s the harness/relays but I just need to cover my bases and test other components to make sure so when I contact him I can tell him I did this this and this.

As far as the relay tap…tried that. I just don’t think he’d ‘warranty’ it again if I don’t have tangible proof that it’s not my ballasts.

He silicon’s the CRAP out of the relays, a good inch or two all around, so to tear it apart and fix it myself is out of the question.
