It appears that the upgrade forces a login and many, many of you have forgotten your passwords and didn't set up any reminders. Contact me directly through helpmelogin@dodgecharger.com and I'll help sort it out.

When all else checks out, do yourself a favor and check for continuity in the wires, there's not that many anyway.  Even brand new, straight out of the box, a wiring harness can have an issue.  It doesn't happen often but it does happen.

The relay mod is quite easy and doesn't take much work.  Definitely worth the effort.

Bob I got the diagram from the HL relay upgrade thread Ghoste started several years ago.  I always kept it and used it to do my own car.  I have bypassed the ammeter as well and installed a 90 amp alternator.  I have an 80 amp ANL fuse hidden under the battery and run 6 awg cables to feed the lot.  Better safe than sorry!   :icon_smile_big:

Instead of using 2 separate fuses as shown on the diagram, I run a 30 amp self resetting circuit breaker.  Main power also goes through the ANL fuse.

It has been one of the best wiring mods I have done on the car Dino, the relays are hidden under a bracket by the battery tray. I put high output semi sealed lamps in, so I needed to uprate the cabling as well, beats the hell out of the factory candle power lights.
Most importantly Tom, the win  is the fact that the headlight power is routed through the relays instead of the foot switch and factory on/off switch and crusty original wiring

Here's another version of the drawing, the only difference is that it should go via the alt, so the alt is ''looking'' to charge back into the circuit
