    Did you go back and check all of your connections, including hot wire to the battery and solid grounds? Make sure your relays are fully seated as well as fuses.

    Got my shifter modified and spotted. Dual cases are in. Dropped off my driveshaft to have it shortened and go one piece without carrier bearing. BA564E87-5125-4407-8E24-AEC6E84ABE77.jpg

    You could try a salvage yard and see what they might sell the piece for.

    True. I was meaning to take a few when I got on the trails, but that hasn't happened yet. The truth of the matter is it doesn't look all that impressive becasue, well, it isn't supposed to. Although I did get a compliment on my light setup from a kid at the Chick-fil-A drive through, and another kid at the car wash today didn't think my rack would fit through (it does). The lights didn't move around at all; this was quite satisfying.

    My @CaliRaisedLed light bar was flickering on and off on it's own...
    I think I found the problem. The relay seemed to have got water in it. The 30A in-line fuse did not blow but it sure melted. Glad I caught this in the act or the truck might have melted away...

    So I snipped the relay off and wired it to my switch board and put in a 30A fuse.

    Fuse is not blown.


    Melted fuse.


    Melted in-line fuse.


    Relay was the problem?


    Wire now run to the "20A" placeholder on the left but put a 30A fuse in place.
    I don't like how these switch boards pre-labeled all the fuses. They are all wired the same so the size of fuse doesn't matter.

    SDHQ are no joke! I could probably stand on that bracket.

    Yea I've also had an issue with my 52" Caliraisedled light bar. Long story short, like 3 years ago, the light bar was on for like 4 hrs (snow wheeling at night) and the relay melted. Had to buy a male and female relay connection and rewire the thing. Bout a week ago, had an issue where I was using the light in the snow and after I turned it off, 4 lights on the bar were still on. I think water might have gotten in and caused a short or something. A few days after, the light bar dried out and it works just fine now.
