The best troubleshooting step I can recommend based on the information provided is to apply a circuit tester like # PTW2992 to the wiring upstream of the diodes. In other words, you want to test to confirm that light power from the motorhome harness is entering the diodes. You do the same test on the wiring from the Jeep itself.
If you refer to the photo I linked you'll see that the diode has both a motorhome feed (yellow wire, top left) and a vehicle feed (black wire, top left). When... view full answer...
When it comes to wiring the first thing to check for is any shorts or bends in the wiring. If your wiring harness for your lights uses a converter like the Hopkins Custom Tail Light Wiring Kit for Towed Vehicles # HM56202 it could be malfunctioning and not correctly sending signals. I've attached a video for testing the converter box and our help guide on wiring troubleshooting.
If this doesn't solve your issue please reply back with the wiring you're using to connect from the RV and... view full answer...
I spoke to my contact at Bestop and she said that due to the nature of how the Bestop Full-length Strapless Bikini # B5253037 installs water will pool on the roof. She said if you brush the water off before you start driving it would eliminate the water from pouring on you.
She also said that if you still have your factory door surrounds you could reinstall those and it should help fill in the gap that allows the water to run in. view full answer...
Start off by checking the 6-Way connector at the front of your 2018 Jeep JL Wrangler Unlimited. Be sure that none of the wires are touching any wires next to it which would allow power to jump from one circuit to the other.
If that looks good then the next step is to troubleshoot the diodes that come with the Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit # RM-15267. Since the problem is only happening to one side simply remove the diode on the circuit that is messing up and swap it with one on the other side... view full answer...
On your 2013 Jeep Wrangler the parking/running lights not working on your vehicle will not be a fuse box issue since we know other functions still work. I recommend first checking to make sure you have the daytime running lights turned on. Next check the M17 and M18 fuses in the Totally Integrated Power Module located under the hood of your Jeep. Use a circuit tester to determine if power is getting to either side of each fuse using a circuit tester like # PTW2993. You can use the probe... view full answer...
Based on what you are describing, and the fact that this happens on both your Jeep and truck, you have a bad ground connection somewhere on the trailer. Make sure all of your ground connections are secure on a clean, bare-metal surface. A bad ground is the only explanation for the bizarre behavior of your trailer lights. view full answer...
I'm sorry to hear you have had trouble with your Curt Echo # C51180. Although there have been some reports of the Echo falling out of the vehicle when not secured with the strap, we have not received any about the trailer wiring falling out of the Echo itself.
When plugging your trailer's 7-way into the Echo make sure it is fully seated for a secure connection. Also, make sure that the tab underneath the cap is in place behind the tab on the top of your 7-way connection. This will keep... view full answer...
Yes, I believe that that corroded bulb is something that is affecting the lights on the trailer. There is definitely a ground issue. Ground problems normally show up when there is more draw on a system such as when you have the running lights on and then use another function like a turn signal or brake light.
Make sure that the vehicle side and trailer side connectors are clean and free of corrosion inside and out. The main connector grounds should be attached to clean and corrosion free... view full answer...
It sounds like you're talking about the transmitter that plugs in on top of the Brake Buddy Classic 3 # HM39494. There will be some movement with the transmitter but your description of "very loose" doesn't sound right.
When I reached out to the manufacturer they had no reports of this or any idea why it would be loose. The only thing I can think of is if the transmitter was hit and the prongs were bent causing it to not fit as well as it should. I would inspect them to see if they look... view full answer...
There is a cable that runs along the edge of the roof from front to back. The gap you're seeing can be caused by 3 or 4 things.
1) Cable came loose from the header
2) Cable came loose from behind the rear door
3) If neither of these is the case, if both ends are securely attached but the cable is loose in the middle, the cable has broken and would need to be replaced.
4) At the rear of the cable, it's attached to a spring. The cable is looped around a screw head as shown on page 24 of... view full answer...
