Problem with lightbar
I was adjusting my spotlights on my lightbar last week when both went out. At first I thought I may have blown a fuse, but couldn't find a fuse and don't believe there is one. Uppon further investigation I see I may have cut/damaged the wire coming out of the spotlight as I must have pinched it trying to tighten the bolt. I repaired it, but no lights. Tried a new bulb, no lights...
Is it possible for a relay to go out? It has a relay and a switch.

Problem with lightbar
I'm no electrician by a long shot but, my first guess would be when you cut the wire it blew a fuse. So if you are certain there is no fuse in the circuit I would check to see if you loosened a ground wire. If thats not it I would try a new relay.
I'm sure someone else will be right along to give more advice.

You could follow the circuit with a test light and see where you have current and where you dont to isolate the problem.

It most likely is fused somewhere, check the accessory fuse, and also check if you burned out the switch.

Problem with lightbar
Thanks guys. I keep thinking there must be a fuse somewhere, now I just have to find it. Messing with it yesterday I saw where two connectors came lose that controlled the running lights/turn signals. Plugged them back in and the blinkers work, but they don't stay on as running lights..... ugh! Must have knocked something else lose.
