you have a short somewhere, make sure you have a good ground and all of the wires go to the correct places.

I just finished my B&M Megashifter install today. I verified the correct PN on the relay and it seems to be working great. I wired it exactly as the instructions stated. Hope I dont see any problems as you have.

I have a relay for the Mega Shifter if anyone wants to give me a few bucks for it. I JUST installed my shifter today...and decided not to use the relay....everything works great and I even used the factory cable
