    Anyone here pretty good with electronics/wiring? I recently installed a Nilight 6 gang switch relay ( https://www.amazon.com/Nilight-Universal-Automatic-Dimmable-Warranty/dp/B08PS495R5?th=1 ) system to hookup all my auxiliary lights. I noticed when I tried wiring one of my light bars to the number 3 spot in the relay box the light will not come on.

    I press the switch on the rocker panel for the third spot, I see the red indicator light on the switch panel come on and hear the relay "click" but the light bar won't turn on. The red indicator light on the switch panel and "click" happen to all the other lights when I go to turn them on and they come on. I tried wiring my light bar to all the other 5 spots in the relay box and the light bar will turn on in those other spots. I used the appropriate fuse for the light bar as well.

    Is there a way I can fix the number 3 spot so I can still be able to use an accessory in that spot if I decide to? What are some things I can check in the relay box? I contacted Nilight, but haven’t heard anything.

    Have you tried swapping out the relay? Since you know the others are good, swap out the relay #3 with one of the good ones. If it works, then relay is bad. If it doesn't work, then the wiring/connection to/from the relay is bad.
