Vortex box lights

[Mikey P]

First one then the other went out. Along with the light on the toggle switch on my dash.


I checked all the fuses in the cab and the set outside next to the air filter...
Any where else I can look?


The UD guy in Utah jumped ship, the new guy had no clue.

you're a high end day time cleaner

lights?

 

[Mikey P]

I already have a flashlight.

Jim not answering?

 

[Mikey P]

Bulbs are fine.

 

[Mikey P]

Keep going...

 

[Jim Martin]

If your bulbs are good and your lights are good then you are losing a ground some where...I would not think it is a fuse because then you would of lost them all....I have never really looked at mine because I have never turned them on sense I have got the truck...but I can tell you that most of them are mounted on a non grounded surface and have to be physically grounded...don't forget..the bed is non conductive .....they are wired in series on the hot side but I noticed the grounds on some are separate......this is going off of my truck.....yours may be wired different.....I don't have a toggle for a switch I have a non lighted rocker...but the basic principle should still be the same........

did you look to see if you have a in line fuse

 

[Chads]

No. 1 reason lights stop working is like what Jim said, Bad ground.

you might want to call Summit here in Portland, they probably built the box

Cu is so smart.

Oh, check the grounds, Mikey.

 

[Mikey P]

Fixed!

2 problems

My dash switch was getting power from the cluster of unused accessory hook ups that dangle above the driver's left foot. That source died for what ever reason so I now have it wired to the Cigarette lighter's power.

When that source died it killed the switch as well.



Thanks to Jim Martin the World's Most Helpful Mikey Boarder for walking me through it.
