DFW BS Thread : ********NEW MEET!! CHECK POST #1*******

Everyone safe from the hail in the night?

 

Yep ,Arlington is ,i hear grapefruit size NDallas.

 

I have about 4-5 small dings on the roof from leaving it overnight in Irving. Nothing on the hood as far as I can tell so far. Not too far north in Coppell got hammered with baseball to softball size tho.

 

You bet! I love me some Mazda's! They will always be my first loves.

I know, I know. I need to get that wheel to you somehow, but no idea when I will head that way soon.

If I wasn't using this basket rack for my current set up, you could have it too lol.

Sounds good, it also needs to cool off up there before I head back, way to hot for me to go back right now and try and sleep in a tent anyways unless a cabin was rented and what not. Plan for Southern Cruiser Crawl maybe? Looking more and more like it will be an event I will be making this year.

 

It was pretty bad in Valley Ranch. I had tennis ball size hail for about 20 mins. No broken windows on the vehicles, but I probably did get a few dings. It was still kinda hard to tell with water beaded up on the body panels. I know the Honda took a few, so truck probably did too. Luckily, the Supra is always tucked away in the garage.

 

damn that sucks, i see busted windshields on the new this morning, crazy. Ft Worth didn't get anything

 

I ran out in the middle of it and threw a moving blanket over the moon roof and windshield to protect the Honda as much as I could. In case anyone was unsure, large hail to the head hurts....

 

i need some help tying in my rear night time red lights to my day time runnig lights. i can't figure it out

 

Seriously though, are you just trying to figure out which wire to tap into?

 

yes and no. because the stock wiring harness is gone due to the swap. so i have my blinkers and brakes, but at night time i dont have my rear night time red running lights. so i need to figure out how to turn those on. also my headlights dont work. just my daytime running lights. but my day time running lights only come on when i turn on the headlights. i dont have a high or low beam it wont work, just daytime running lights when i turn the lights on. and the daytime running lights dont emit a lot of light, so i cant really drive it at night unless i use my light bars or figure out how to hook up headlights to turn on when i turn the switch, instead of the day time running lights coming on. so i gotta tie in the regular lights and rear lights to come on all together

 

Engine harness should be different from the body harness that controls the lights and what not. Sounds like you're maybe missing wiring/connection from your headlight switch/stalk to the lights.

 

Do you still have the original fuse box?

Low beams are on a different fuse than high.

They’re all 10a and right next to each other.

 

yes i have origional fuse box, and new fuse box. the day time running lights come on when lights are turned off. and then lights shut off when i turn the switch to on. i suck at wiring to be honest.

 

Do your high beams works when you pull on the stalk? I can try to look at a wiring diagram later and see if there's a common connection between headlights and taillights that could be causing the issue. Automotive wiring isn't my forté, but I'll help if I can.

 

no. lights turn off when they are suppose to be on.

 

Hmm, the answer is probably in here somewhere.

 

oh gee.... look. its Einstein's lost gravity equation.

 

Does the headlight indicator light on the dash come on when you flip the switch?

 

I remember a number of years ago when Coppell got hammered with the same size hail, tons of totaled and damaged vehicles. Are you going to do pdr? If so, I can rec a place to go to.

 

when i flip high beams yes.
