Last night I pulled all of the god awful running lights of the side of my truck. Everything seemed fine afterward. All of my running lights, turn and tail, worked fine. I go to work this morning and I get pulled over cause their not working. I suspect the fuse but I have blinkers and brake lights. Any suggestions?

 

Blinkers & brakes have nothing to do with the parking light circuit (Bn). Either the headlight switch burned up, or something you ripped out broke loose. What did you remove: factory, or aftermarket running lights? How were they connected, and how did you DISconnect them?

 

Well I went and checked everything. Fuses, all bulbs including plate lights and double checked everything I disconnected when I took off the aftermarket running (big rig style) lights. I couldn't find anything that was wrong. So I changed all the bulbs. Still nothing. Went to check the switch..... Look what I found

A bunch of jacked up stuff!! The red butt connectors are mine. The rest of it was nothing but electrical tape. I would love to kick the p.o. right in the nuts so he couldn't further contaminate the earth.

 

Double post.

 

hahaha nice looks like he was a master mechanic who specializes in wireing lol

 

He's a master alright.... Baiter! You think he's fishes a lot? That wiring job looked like a can of worms!!

 

hahaha

 

It's fairly common for the headlight switch terminals to burn up, so he probably replaced the switch & pigtail.



...badly.

Before you crimp any more butts on there, read this:

 

ya think!

 

Steve, what exactly is that tool called so I can find one? The finished product looks awesome. The way I did it was I spliced the wires together and then slid the butt connector over and crimped. I would have liked to have used something that I could take apart again but the butts were all I had at the time.
Thanks.
