Installing Indicators....
« on: October 30, 2010, 09:13:04 PM »
So i got some aftermarket lights and I am installing them. We put the front ones on and they work great! Then the trouble started when we went to the back. Once the back ones were installed nothing happened at all, not even the front ones would come on. So we hooked them up to a battery to test them and they work. So we then hooked up the original ones and they worked with the front ones too. So then we tried every possible combination there is. I then checked my fuses but then again if they were blown the stock lights would not have came on.... so now I am clueless as to what it could be...  Any advice of previous experience to installing aftermarket lights?

So I blew the fuses... Now I have to go to find some 7A fuses. So that said leaves me to believe that even ofthe fuses looked good one of them might had been blown. Well now I'm stuck till I get new ones. I went to orileys and they only carried 7 1/2 and after dinner I'm going else where. I will let you know of that was the cause. I will also be buying a smaller one too incase the LEDs were just getting to much juice.

Why not get a 10A fuse. Fuses are to protect the wire from burning and then shorting out possibly causing a fire. What type of lights are you using? What is the amperage they are pulling?
What gauge wire are you using? How are you wiring it? What are you tapping into for power? Is there anything else on the line you are using to power your aftermarket lights?

Enough questions?

7.5A or 7A - the same...
