pug hot means does it have power?? did you check the fuses?? one saying to keep in mind is the K.I.S.S method. "Keep It Simple Stupid" not saying you are just a saying i was raised with. just check the simpe things first thats all

 

Do you have a light tester to check the pins. Its probably a fuse.

 

I dont know what fuses to check...

 

Do you have an owners manual? Some times on the inside of the fuse cover there will be a diagram.

 

no owners manual I bought it used and it didnt have one...

 

What about the fuse box cover. Or just start pulling fuses.

 

Get an Ohms meter, best way to check electrical connections for power. But if it's a simple fuse job, just pull and look.

 

Alright I pulled every fuse and all are fine, the 4 pin plug does have some green **** in the ends...what could that be?

 

mold? first thing I'd do is disconnect postive terminal from batt. then blow out with an air compressor, and if that dosent work, get some mild soapy water and a old toothbrush and start scrubbin.


can ya get some pics?

Ok, it came in last night. I think I have a bad 4-pin plug, cause everything is running fine, but when I turn on my lights, it lights up as if I'm pressing on my brake and nothing else is working. I'm going to hard-wire it this weekend and hope that that solves it. Can I get some close-up day shots to see where/how you guys mounted it? If it's supposed to go under that gap in between the bumper and the tailgate, with it recessed back there it's hard to see when you stand up, I have to kneel down to see it. Looks sweet tho, can't wait to get it installed. I have it temp. mounted with some zip ties and plugged in just to show it off right now.

Note: I also got a Plasmaglow catalog and I see they make little mini LED strips for mud-flaps.... Hmm.....haha. I might go pick up some Ford Racing mudflaps and buy those bad boys to compliment my 60" Fire and Ice.

 

Ok, well I'm about to go outside and pull my truck under my lean-to and take off the tailagte and mount that bad boy! If I have time, I'll take out my soldering gun and hard-wire that thing in there too.

 

Okay, so I'm back. It's installed and I hard-wired it into my trailer plug. I also took off the left tail lamp and wired the reverse light wire into the positive wire of the stock reverse light. Problem is, when I turn on my lights, the LED strip lights up all the way and the directionals and/or brake lights wont show. I used an Ohm's meter and it said with my lights on, 7 volts are being sent, compared to the 4 volts that the directionals and brake lights are putting out. Any ideas/suggestions? I really like to use this thing at night but when I have my lights on, its overpowering everything else, plz help. Thanks!

 

I would have to agree, but to each his own

 

Can anyone explain in easy terms how to install the reverse lights. I am no mechanic haha, but this is so cool that i want it on now. If anyone could tell me plain and simple how to install the white wire i would appreciate it. Thanks
