Help! Led light bar stopped working!
I flipped the switch and nothing happened. The inline fuse is good, and the relay clicked. Im not really good with electronics, so be easy on me please!
Worse case a wire or component may have vibrated loose from the circuit board assembly or a component fried itself.
Probably an open circuit in 1 of the wires coming from the LED to the relay. If there's a ton of vibration and kinking of the wire(s), it may have been enough to break the core/strand over time.

Open circuit wires outside of the LED housing are easy to check for.
On the other hand, if you open the LED housing up and see that a component has vibrated loose and the board was wave soldered (most likely the case if it's a cheap chinese made circuit board) then it's an easy fix assuming the component is still in working condition and didn't fry itself.
If they used SMT/surface mount technology then you're pretty much SOL as it can be pretty difficult to solder a component back on without shorting the whole board out depending how the printed circuit is laid out or frying a component since you have to bring the board/connection up to high temps (using a heat gun) for liquid flux.
So in your case, it might just be easier to return it if still under warranty or just buy a new one if all of this is Japanese to you.
My 2 cents.

So after a while I flipped the switch just out of curiosity. It came on for a few seconds with a high pitched buzzing sound. Haven't got the time to dig into it recently, but I did find the relay online.
