4. Setup (Installation)

The Maxxima M84407-B light is designed for surface mounting and hardwired termination. Follow these steps for proper installation:

1. Choose Mounting Location: Select a flat, secure surface within the interior compartment where the light is needed. Ensure there is sufficient space for the light (approximately 5-7/64 inches long by 2-29/32 inches wide).
2. Prepare Wiring: Identify the appropriate 12.8-volt power source in your vehicle. Disconnect the vehicle's battery before proceeding with wiring. Run the power and ground wires to the chosen mounting location.
3. Remove Lens: Carefully remove the snap-on polycarbonate lens to access the mounting screw holes.
4. Mount the Light: Position the light housing on the chosen surface. Mark the locations for the mounting screws. Drill pilot holes if necessary, ensuring they are smaller than the screw diameter. Secure the light housing using the hidden mounting screws provided.
5. Wire Connections: Connect the light's positive wire to the vehicle's 12.8V power source and the light's negative (ground) wire to a suitable ground point on the vehicle chassis. Ensure all connections are secure and insulated.
6. Reattach Lens: Once the light is securely mounted and wired, snap the polycarbonate lens back into place.

5. Operating Instructions

The Maxxima M84407-B Interior Compartment LED Light operates by receiving power from your vehicle's 12.8-volt electrical system.

There are no user-adjustable settings or controls on the light unit itself.

6. Maintenance

The Maxxima M84407-B LED light requires minimal maintenance due to its durable construction and long-life LEDs.

• Cleaning: To clean the lens, use a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the polycarbonate material.
• Inspection: Periodically check the wiring connections for any signs of corrosion or looseness. Ensure the mounting screws remain tight.
• LED Life: The LEDs have an estimated life of 100,000 hours, meaning replacement of individual bulbs is generally not required.

7. Troubleshooting

If the light does not function as expected, consider the following:

• Light Does Not Turn On:
  • Check the power source: Ensure the vehicle's battery is connected and charged.
  • Verify wiring connections: Confirm that the positive and negative wires are correctly and securely connected.
  • Check for blown fuses: Inspect the vehicle's fuse box for any blown fuses related to the circuit powering the light.
• Light Flickers:
  • Inspect wiring for loose connections or damaged insulation.
  • Ensure the ground connection is solid and free of corrosion.
• Dim Light Output:
  • Clean the lens if it appears dirty or obstructed.
  • Verify the power supply voltage is stable and within the specified 12.8V range.
