Question Fog lights trying to start engine???

Need some help on this as well...I hooked up some fog lights the other day but I did not hook them up directly to the battery, I hooked them up here:



My battery is dead right now and keeps draining incredibly fast for some reason but for some reason when I hit the switch to turn on the fogs, it sounds like the engine is trying to turn over constantly until I turn it back off...cant for the life of me figure out why it would be doing this? Help?

Try putting the power to the fog lamp relays on the battery.
Why are you putting it on one side of the starter solenoid ?

Cause it worked fine until today. Looked cleaner and didn't seem to be a problem at first. I dont really like the look of extra wires coming off of my battery

Dude. Yeah, you gotta move that wire. If you turn your ignition to the on position and hit the fogs, it will probably fire right up. You are sending power right to your starter. Like Sscully said, move it to your battery.
