How To Connect A Front Clearance Light With Single Wire On a Motorhome With 2 Wire Connectors?
Question:
I have A96 4 winds motor home. It has a 2 wire clearance light both are black? How do I convert it down to a one wire clearance light since they dont sell those no more?

Expert Reply:
It sounds like you are trying to replace a front clearance light on your 1996 Four Winds motorhome with a Optronics LED Clearance # MCL95AB which only has a single wire connection. This style of light uses the mounting bolt hole to act as the ground connection. But since your cap is going to be constructed of fiberglass you will need to use a Ring Terminal # DW05741-1 to connect the ground wire from your chassis. You might consider switching all your clearance lights to the Optronics LED Mini Clearance # MCL13A2B for a cleaner look and to retain the 2 wire connection.
