Re: Valve Ground Quest
Do you have a good ground at the chassis? Do you have a ground strap from the motor to the chassis or one from the battery to the chassis? Try running some jumper wires from the battery to the 12V input and the ground input at the valves to test them. Do you have 12V at the battery?

Re: Valve Ground Quest
Use one of these to hookup your valves and ground. Much cleaner.

Re: Valve Ground Quest
Is it the middle terminal in the relay? Often times the middle wire on a 5-wire relay goes unused.

Re: Valve Ground Quest
Do you think I need to have all three prongs on my valves hooked up?
