Hey guys, new to this forscan and am in need for some help, my problem is that I have some spotlights wired up on my Ute and the relay for them is buzzing when the engine is running when the engine is turned off it works fine, I am an auto sparky myself so I know they are wired up fine but I have found that I have low amps supplied from the bcm as my high beam signal wire I have only has 10vdc going to my relay.. is there any way I can plug into the computer with forscan and change some settings to get more amps/volts out of the bcm?? Thank you for your time

Stedi do a piggy back harness cheap that fits in the headlight plug and powers the relays for lightbars etc, works great.

And again, please update you email address or so will remove the account.
Check your relay, quality or Chinese rubbish?
Enable dual battery mode and see if it improves.
What voltage is the alternator outputting at this time?
What is battery voltage at this time?
