Baja Designs Squadron Sport NOT WORKING!

Just installeda pair of squadron sports using the gen 2 fog adapter harness. Supposed to be "plug and play". I did just that, turn on truck and no lights! Am i missing something here? Stock lights worked before hooking these up.

It appears adapter only plugs in one way... thoughts?

 

Did you connect the pins and harness in the plug and play? You need to get the polarity right, I've had this happen on other lights before and you just need to switch how you put the pins in the plastic clip. Problem is getting them back out of the clip can sometimes break it if you aren't careful, so be careful pulling them back out if that is the case.

 

Yup, probably just need to reverse the polarity. I also would have bought SAE rated fog lights but as long as you don't use them on road you should be gucci

 

The wires were already connected on both ends when I recieved the unopened package? I assume, try to disconnect ends and switch them around?

 

If you are good troubleshooting circuits a few steps to consider:
- Try the factor fogs, if working then the truck has a good circuit
- Use a multi-meter checking continuity on the BD adapter, if good then there should be power
- Measure voltage with the multi-meter from the truck, if good plug in the BD adapter and measure voltage again. This should be the same voltage
- Connect a 12VDC supply (can be the battery) to the connector on the light

This should help you and BD determine where the problem might exist. BD is typically very good at helping with their lights when needed.

 

BD uses high-quality Weather Pack connectors. The easiest/best way to release the terminals and switch them around is this, the right tool for the job. You'll likely damage the whole connector assembly if you try to release them without it.

 

Not likely, the connector pins should be held on with small clips. I used a tiny flathead and a steady hand to release the pin and swap stuff around

 

We got it. One of the harness adapters was backwards. The other was good to go. One blown fuse later, and its dialed in!

Thanks dudes!

 

The Baja design squadron sport have a black/white wire combo at the end of the connector. The “plug n play” adapter has a black/brown wire combo. The stock wire color are green/white. The combo goes like this, stock green has to match brown on “plug n play” adapter, brown from “plug n play adapter” has to match white n the Baja connector side. Problem solved
