Odd behavior from Aux Switches

[offcamber]

I originally wired my Baja Designs LP9 Pros to my factory aux switches. Aux 3 is the running light, Aux 1 is low beam and Aux 2 is high beam. It's worked fine for me until a couple of days ago. Now whether I hit Aux 1 or 2, it triggers the high beam. The low beam does't trigger. I checked the wires with a meter and when I press Aux 1 or 2, the wire going to the high beam circuit goes hot, but the low beam wire never does. Anyone seen it malfunction like that. Aux 1 lights up like it's on, but it's sending power to the Aux 2 wire instead.

Sounds like a short either in the wiring or the lights themselves?

Did you buy the wiring harness or make it?

Its a BD harness, I just cut the switch and relay out of it.

Unlikely that the Jeep factory wiring is crossed, but you never know.

Where did you test the wires? Factory AUX has leads on the inside and hood. Might check both locations to ensure that it’s a “factory” issue.
