Fusion LED Trailer Tail Light Is Only Illuminating With Brake And Turn Signals
Question:
I have had these for a couple of years but now the diods are dying one at a time in run mode but work ok for break and signal.

Good news Les, I don't think your diodes are dying in the light. It sounds like there is a wiring issue with the lights because they work with the brake and turn signals like you mention. It sounds like either there is a bad connection with the ground at the trailer connector or the light itself. I recommend to check the ground for the trailer connector first to make sure it is grounded to a clean bare metal surface. Then check the grounds for the lights. I also recommend to take a look at the connection from the black wire on the lights to the running light circuit to make sure there are not any frays or exposed wiring.
Please let me know if you are not able to fix the issue and we can troubleshoot further.
