Long Travel BS Thread

The head ones are keeping you from firing it up but it sounds like you burnt a shitload of fuses. What did you do during the firewall clearance-ing? Welding etc? With a weak ground on the welder on an opposing side of electronics its not uncommon for the current to look for a happy place. Hopefully al the fuses protected you from additional damage.

 

ya nothing happens when i turn the key, no radio no beep no nothing


the 80a alt fuse thing does have power

 

keep plugging away. pull the fuses and inspect them as well as testing them with a multi meter. ive had fuses pop that didn't fully pop if that makes sense.

 

Start looking for burnt fuses. They will look burnt when you hold them up to the light. When you find one, find out why it blew. You may have cut some wires and shorted them out. Did you maybe hook up the battery backward? I've seen that do some weird stuff.

 

the head and tail and panel fuses do have power when i turn the lights on....yeah it was a ton of welding, i cant remember if i disconnected the battery fully or not

so far ive pulled every fuse and inspected them and they all look fine...exept that none of the dash ones have power

 

Once you TEST each fuse, not just look, check with an ohm-meter. Be sure all fuses are up to snuff. Disconnect both battery leads and touch them together to reset. You fried something, chances are its a fuse. They do a pretty good job protecting us from ourselves so chances are you will be ok.

 

Engage LT kit. Engage links in the rear! Absolute great work done by Engage Offroad. Couldn't be happier! Now it's time to test!

Lol ^^^





So I ordered 4 bleed screws from king, came to $4 so I was like throw in a Tshirt. Total was $14.something. Mother F'ers charged me $18 to ship it in a padded envelope!!! That's some bs if u ask me!

Carry on with ur Thursday

 

I have a lighting question for you guys. I picked up some 8" HIDs for a deal that will be mounted on the roof of "Martha". I'm debating to run all spots or all driving beam. I have an LED bar on the front bumper so maybe all of my roof lights should be for distance aka spot.

But I'm also not going to out run my lights either. Haha. Should I just run all driving patterns?

 

Driving/euro is my preference. Don't worry about out driving your lights, light according to your comfort. My truck is slow, but my night vision is also kind of crappy. I plan on lighting up the desert as if it was high noon. 40 inch on the bumper and 5, 8 inch HIDs on the roof is what I'm working on now

 

Lol. Poly said they did not carry...and go through king. I knew I should of hit up dsm, bought all my shocks from them. Oh well. Still bullshit on the shipping charges!!!

 

King wanted $20 to ship me 4 shim stacks. DSM sent them to me with free shipping and they fit in a flat rate box that cost them less than $6...

 

I like the spread of Euro/Driving. I have 3 Driving and 2 Spot on my roof rack.

 

Haha. My 2.7L isn't going to take me too fast at night either. I think I'm going to run all driving since I have three of them. Baja Designs said they will switch out one of my spot lenses for $40 including lens.

 

okay so ive tested every fuse and all the ones under the dash have no power at all.. even the 30a "power" fuse...triple checked the wires by the firewall and none of them look cut or burnt

the only ground wire i touched was 3 that all didnt look factory, the bolt was loose and causing my alarm to freak out while i was hammering the firewall, all i did was move the 3 grounds to a different bolt.

 

the one i moved it to? i didnt test it but the lights coming off of it work now and the alarm isnt freaking out since i moved it...i cant find any other grounds
