Meso custom map light weirdness

Oem dome Light and bulb

Today while trying to install my meso customs map lights I ran into an issue. First off my map lights only have about 2in of wire. In the vids I've watched there was much more. Not sure if this is an issue but I digress. I installed the meso light on the driver side. All is good on that side. I put in the passenger side and the LEDs stay on. Car off, light switch off, does matter. Drivers side works well but the passenger is always on. Well finally I got frustrated enough just to install the oem bulbs back and now I'm getting the same issue where the passenger light is always on with the oem bulb too. What the hell is going on???

 

Forgot to say, I reversed the polarity of the plug and still had the same issue

 

Is your button stuck? Didju hit up @MESO ?

 

I don't think the button is stuck because it operates the drivers side bulb correctly.

 

There's individual buttons to turn the lights on separately. The buttons (lights) themselves push up towards the headliner to activate individually

 

Omg I completely forget about that. I'm an idiot. Let me go retry this.

 

Let us know lol

 

the little button up overhead is depressed.
Also, pop the LED board out(of the plastic) and flip it 180degrees this should give enough slack to plug in

 

Not that I have ever done anything similar in my lifetime.......

 

So that was the cause of the light being always on. Thank you so much.

But now another problem. The wire is so short I can't get the light mounted in the hole. (I'm sure I have it on the correct side, I matched the button masher of the map light to the button)

 

well???

 

Like Meso said, pop the board out and flip it 180* then snap it back in.

 

MVP of the thread. Yup, I got frustrated and completely forgot about the little depress button. This corrected the on/off problem (duh)

Also thanks @MESO for the board flip recommendation. All working and installed properly now.

 

Boom sticks

 

I'm going to blame the combination of stress at work and excitement of a new part for this situation lol

 

We've all done something similar at some point. Glad it all worked out!!

 

You don't have to blame anything, humans do human shit from time to time. Glad u got it sorted
