i am having a problem with my two hellas on the front of my jeep. I switched them on last night on the road to my house and they flicked on then went out mysteriously, i looked at all of the wires this moring and everything looks fine my switch light is still glowing so that means that the power is still getting to them so could it be a blown bulb? only had them like 6 months and don't use then that much. I would really like to get them working today cause i am off and i won't be off again or have time to fix them for like 2 weeks. HELP!!!
light troubles(STILL!)
-
-
check the grounds real good just cause your switch light works dosent mean the lights will check grounds usally both bulbs don,t blow at same time
-
it was the fuse for the wire harness on the lights picking one up in like 10 min.
-
what made the fuse blow?
-
no idea i think some water got in behind the dash i have had water drip on my feet since i bought it every time it rains and even sometimes the day after i want to fix the leak but i am not sure how or if i can even do it.
-
ok this is beginning to be a PITA, i am blowing fuses every time i try to put them in i tried a higher fuse and i am still haveing problems this sucks i hate not having these lights. any one have an ohm meter and know about electircal stuff and does any one have the diagram from their hellas so that i can find out how they are wired and retrace everything i would really like to get this taken care of soon.

i have a fluke meter down in the garage...maybe we can find out the source of the short tomorrow at tony's.
chris -
you prob have a chafed wire somewhere check whwer it goes through firewall or grill if not there follow each hot wire till you find it ohm meter prob wont be much good as you already know you have a short
-
but we may be able to narrow it down to either a left or right hot wire, the relay's pickup line, or something within the switch.
oh, and chris...DON'T EVER USE A HIGHER RATED FUSE THEN THE FACTORY AND/OR LIGHT MANUFACTURER RECOMMENDS!!!! they recommend a certain size for a reason - higher ones may allow the wire to heat up before the fuse blows - causing fires inside the jeep or under the hood.
chris -
ok cool so we can get it done to night
-
fixed it it turned out that two of the wires where switched on the little black box so it was blowing fuses, we fixed it and then put a slotted fuse in and got rid of the glass tubing.
