[QUOTE="Nuzzy, post: 1217054, member: 15952"] I circumvented the relay and confirmed both headlights do still work. Then I replaced the blown 30A with a 20A fuse. I set my tester to the ohms setting and according to it's manual was looking for it to change from 1. to 0.0 when touching tips, which it did. I then tested the ground screw of each headlights' ground wire against the motor and frame and all measurements came out to to the 0.0. I did the same to the ground screw for the relay and also got 0.0. I then tried to measure the amp draw by placing the red lead onto the high beam spade of the pass light and the black against my block ground. I was expecting close to 10 amps (12.6 volts at the time) but the meter immediately shot up to 16-17amps and then promptly fried itself :mad: So, now I'm off to grab another multi meter and another relay or two. Also, all wires look in good working order without any obvious ground issues :mad: So if it's ground, it's hidden... [/QUOTE]
