MESO Puddle Light build

Nevermind, it was installer error, i switched to a different spot to ground. All good now thanks

 

Use code "LLOD" to save 10%

 

That LLOD dude makes some awesome videos.

 

Now Im blowing my panel light fuse, taillight fuse trying to get the switch to light up lol. Anyone know where to tape to avoid blowing fuses?

 

If you're putting it in the middle, try grounding it here:

If you're putting it on the left side, there should be a few existing ground points already.

 

I tapped the black wire from the puddle switch to the green wire of the cargo light switch to get the puddle switch to illuminate when i turn on the lights, but it just pops the fuse as soon as i turn on the light switch of the truck. The function of the switch itself works perfectly now since I grounded to a different spot.

 

Hmm, I'm not sure if the green wire from the cargo light switch is ground or not. The puddle light switch might have been using it as a floating ground, and when the cargo light is flipped on, it was shorting the power to ground?

 

Most of the guys that add a light bar switch tend to tap into the green wire of the cargo light switch for illumination when you turn on the parking lights and headlights

 

I tapped my under the dash on the fuse labeled IG1-2 , with an add a fuse . No problems to report

Light comes on when I start the truck and goes out when I turn off the truck.

Hope this helps


Edit , only if you have the original released puddle lights. He has since revised the t-harness and is now plug and play

 

The meso switch gets its illumination from the parking lights through the t-tap harness. The ground wire coming off must go to ground, not to a 12v+ like the wire you are tapping off of. There should be no cut/spliced/taped wires. Just the plug in splitter and the single 12v- coming off the switch.

 

Unless you have the original released puddles like I do. I had to modify the puddle switch and tap it for illumination.

 

Unless this ^^ (apparently).

 

I got the first batch that didnt have the new harness for illumination

 

Can you show me what you modified please?

 

It depends on which T-harness you have , Meso poses this a day or so ago...

 

Yeah @Frsh2df already schooled me.

 

Yes . I will pm you

 

Nah it’s not like that. I found out the hard way , Meso bailed me out .

 

@MESO

Emailed you about the switch illumination

 

Thanks to @Frsh2df for showing me how to get it illuminated with popping anymore fuse
