bumper pole
hey guys.
i've searched and searched and read thread after thread.. however im still stuck.
scenario: wiring up a bumper pole with an 89 accord up/down switch.
issue: ground wire on the switch gets really hot and eventually starts burning/melting away. below is how it was wired up.
The bumper pole has 2 main wires and 2 in each main wire.
first wire: black and red (apparently these wires tap into the parking lights for bumper pole light illumination)
second wire: 2 yellow wires ( these wire to the switch)
switch: 4 wires.
black: ground
yellow/red: +12v
green/yellow: to yellow wire on switch
blue/green: to other yellow wire on switch
this is how it was explained on some thread.
i've been told that because of the up/down switch i do not need a relay. so i wired it up this way. any suggestions as to which way i can wire this up? any help is much appreciated!!
quick crappy pic of how it was wired.

Because you double-wired to the battery, jesus 
Your ground wire needs to go from the switch to a good metal contact point anywhere on the body of the car. Judging from what you've said I don't know that I'd try and wire that in myself though.
