What did I done did. Spent the day working on installing ditch lights and a diode dynamics light bar. I bought the fancy lightforce facia and switches.

Both harness were blue black red and I hooked up the switches from lightforce the same way and nada.

I put the junky little three tab switch on that came with the lights and both worked.

I pulled the yellow wire on the lightforce switch thinking I would not use it so I suspect it should have been in play.

I read this 3 times and still can't figure out what you're asking...

Do yo have a pic so we can see both the switch wiring and the harness. Are you saying you hooked color to color like black to black and blue to blue? There probably a different color code for each, meaning blue could be yellow if that makes sense. The light force switches have a separate ground and power for the switch lights. Maybe those are getting mixed up? Its hard to tell without more information.
I think there should be more than just blue black and red from light force. Im guessing ofcourse.

Per lightforce US They don’t
carry the parts kill the parts and they don’t expect shipments in until sometime The Blue is power in, Yellow power out, Black is Ground and Red is for the switch lightin the summer so if anybody knows a way that I can undo my boo-boo let me know.

To be clear what I did is pulled a yellow wire that was adjacent to the blue wire and apparently I needed that the red wire was not necessary.

The Blue is power in, Yellow power out, Black is Ground and Red is for the switch light

I discovered that I could lift a little flap and pull the pins and move them around! Good to go

Oh so its just a bad connection on the connector. That makes it easy for you. ?
There was a yellow wire next to the blue one and I pulled it thinking it was not needed. I was able to pull the red one and put it where the yellow wire was, problem solved.
