NX Relay wiring

[Bad30th]

I didn't get the wiring harness with my NX relay, so after a phone call to Nitro Dave's this AM I thought I'd post the pinout :

For the record, relay wiring :
86 : +12v keyed ignition (low amperage side), wot switch and manual activation switch in line
30 : +12V to battery (high amperage side)
87 : + to noids
85 : to ground (via FPSS and window switch)

According to that document, battery +12v should be on post 30, live to 87A until 85 and 86 connect, then 30 connects to 87 which becomes +12v.

The long and short of this is this :

I have stereo +12v connected to 86, via manual and WOT switch.
I currently have 30 connected to +12v battery.
87 is + to noids, and 85 is ground via FPSS and window switch.

I am popping the 15amp stereo fuse in the driver door fuse panel when the system activates, which would lead me to believe that the stereo +12 side is grounding when the relay activates.

Anyone know WTF ?

When you say you have stereo +12v conneted to 86, Via manual and WOT switch, do you mean that your relay is getting the low amp power from a stereo power wire behind the radio? If not what is supplying your power to Pin 86? It sounds like to me when you flip the Activation switch and use the WOT switch, it is drawing too much power from that source, in turn blowing the fuse. Do you have anything else hooked up the +12v going to pin 86?

Thanks for the reply.

Going back through it all with my volt/ohm meter I straightened it out. Must've been a loose connection somewhere.

Breaking the Nittos loose at 40mph this morning confirms it's now working. :D
