Question, my SSR's fire if I connect ground and the aux 5vdc, with out issue, when I connect them to ground and one of the outputs the SSR light turns on, but the high voltage side does not complete like when I fire it from the always on Aux +5v DC pin. Any thoughts?
Also to add, on the hot side of my SSR I am using 120v led lights to show when the circuit is on, all of them while off have a slight glow, when energized they get further bright. Functionly everything works fine.
SSR works with aux +5v but not with Out0-#?

Re: SSR works with aux +5v but not with Out0-#?
First step is to get a multimeter and measure the voltages... you are fumbling in the dark without one....
If you do not have a load (like a heating element) attached, there is enough leakage current to power a LED dimly... just the way it is...

I definitely have leakage current going through the led indicater lights, I'll put a fluke on it tonight. So the question is how do I prevent leakage current, it has to be coming through the SSR. I have a 5th SSR to an alarm, no led light, works without issue.
