    So , today not using my Lightbar often, I turned it on and it did not stay on . It would stay on and after a sec and would just turn off. My switchpro would blink twice.

    Any idea whats wrong?

    Too many mods to come

    Sounds like too much draw or ground issue?

    I did! I got a hold of SDHQ where i got the Lightbar from and this is his response.

    This is a code in which the light bar is drawing more power than the switch is programmed for. To fix this, you will go into the Switch Pros app, go to the settings for each switch, select the switch that is connected to the light bar, then change the Amperage value. A 40" S8 draws 16A, so you can set the value to 20A or anything greater than 16A in the app. This should fix the issue and everything should operate normally after this. Let us know if we can help with anything else!


    Worked perfect!!
