    Were the anchors removed? Kinda nuts to make holes in there, defeats the purpose.

    I need some help.

    Turn truck on, auto trans was stuck in Park, researched and found out I blew a tail light fuse that caused the transmission to lock up (who knew). Replaced the fuse and transmission unlocked.

    Half hour later I went to my buddies house and we went to 7-11, put it in park with the engine on and when I went to put it in reverse it was locked up again.

    What might cause a new fuse to short out after just being replaced? Too much amperage running through the circuit? Never had an issue with it before

    Hmm good to know, I did a full system and head unit upgrade last year and have been contemplating sound deadening for awhile... I know if i do it though I'll rip out the carpet and headliner as well and do everything so just waiting for the right time

    LED turn signals cause my fuse to blow repeatedly on my truck until I installed resistors.

    I've had led turn signals for almost a year now with no issues. Wired up the third brake light on my camper to one of the tail lights as well about 4 months ago with no issues. I can give that a try tho!

    Check for corrosion at the light sockets and trailer socket, that would be the easiest things to check first. After that would be wiring.

    Maybe a resistor went bad? I've had to replace all of mine after about 3 years of having them

    This is only my second post so hopefully this turns out alright but, I sound deadened all my does and the back wall a couple months ago. Made the biggest difference around the subwoofer. I've actually replaced the factory subwoofer since then but this was all prep work for new speakers.

    Did you seal the big ass holes in the door? That’s going to give you the best sound improvement in your mid range. Gotta seal those big ass holes and it’ll improve the speakers so much.

    The front doors are sealed up with Dynamat on the outer door. All the doors have NVX SDRF20 3 layer sound deadener on the inside. I'm getting my rear door speakers installed any day now with another amp, so I'll have the shop put another sheet on Dynamat the cover the big ass holes in the rear doors as well. But yeah I wanna avoid taking the door panels on and off and on and off and on and off every time I wanna do work. So I'm going all in on the sound deadening.

    The anchors had to be removed or the liner will sit on top of them and possibly break them. I wouldn't go as far to say what I did is nuts lol. If your concern is water and mud, I plan on putting small little rubber gaskets around the anchors. It'll be fiiiine :burp:
