P1000m3 Beer at my house!!!!

[drfubar]

No kidding... I've been trying to install my turn signal kit for two days now. I know, I know it's not supposed to be a hard job... I can do anything mechanical but when it comes to wiring, I go brain dead. That's why I took my SxS to Delton and let him do the wiring after I installed the winch. You wouldn't believe that words that have come out of my mouth in the last two days. My Wife won't come around me when I get like that.. lol. Anyway, I'm sure one of you wizbangs could do it for your weight in beer, right? I got power to the flasher, and then on to the switch. When I put my tester on either side of the switch... flash, flash, flash, but hook up the led lights and nothing... Probably something simple but I'm done with it...

On another note, how do you like my new wheels and tires?

Those tires look so cute

I guess I'm too far to make the trip but I'd like to if I was closer.

Reverse the polarity of the led's. Maybe they are backwards. They will only light up one way!

Don't think I didn't contemplate it. I'm going back up to the garage and tear everything back out.....

Thanks but tried that

 

[drfubar]

I even tried to get the leds to light by direct power / ground... nothing

Grab a plain old incandescent bulb and hook it up to see if the wiring is right. It's possible you got defective lights. If your test light is flashing you must have done something right!

You get fast response time with that header! I wouldn't think that all are out but ehart is steering you towards the right direction. Just keep going but eliminate one thing at a time. Take your time wiring sucks

Oh, my test light has worked from the beginning I just had the wires backwards. Still fighting with the passenger side. I'll get back at it tomorrow.

 

[drfubar]

Going to start over tomorrow... I didn't like where I ran the wires anyway

DrF just move to Idaho I'll help. Btw just follow the factory lines from the taillights that way you won't have any problems when using dump. They are fairly easy to run that way as well.

I put the rear turn signals in the corners of the roof... Won't have a problem with the dump.

 

[CumminsPusher]

Good idea visible too.

Yea, one side flashes like hell too... lol The other, not so much

 

[CumminsPusher]

Do those LEDs have resistors

Maybe built in. I just need to check my connections and go from there tomorrow... Just wore out from cussing today.

 

[CumminsPusher]

Been there!!

Er, a, thanks. Not sure I'm comfortable with you using cute when describing my fire-breathing, NOS injected Pioneer.
