Upfitter...again!
Hello,
I am wiring up a light bar where the front license plate goes. I ran the lead wire to the blunt cut white/orange wire tucked behind the fuse box. I ran my ground to the battery and flipped the switches on...nothing (while truck was on) . I have always had the indicator lights come on when the switches flip on which I assumed meant they were hot. Do i need to connect something under the dash as well? I am obviously missing something very easy. Any help would be greatly appreciated! TIA.

answered in your other post too....i think the ground needs to be on metal, not the battery.
