Troubleshooting

If your LED lights are not functioning correctly, consider the following troubleshooting steps:

  • No Power to Lights:
    • Check battery connections: Ensure the harness is securely connected to the vehicle's 12V battery terminals.
    • Inspect the fuse: Verify the 40A blade fuse is intact. Replace if blown.
    • Check relay: Ensure the relay is properly seated and functioning.
    • Verify switch connection: Confirm the control switch is correctly wired to the harness.
  • Lights Flicker or Dim:
    • Check for loose connections: Ensure all DT plugs and battery terminals are tight.
    • Inspect wiring for damage: Look for frayed or pinched wires.
    • Verify power draw: Ensure the total wattage of connected lights does not exceed the harness's maximum capacity of 480W (main light) or 72W (DRL). Overloading can cause dimming or flickering.
  • Only Main Lights or DRLs Work:
    • Check switch mode: Ensure the 3-mode switch is set to the desired mode (Main Light, DRL, or Combo).
    • Verify light compatibility: Confirm your LED pod lights support 3-wire Main Light + DRL functionality.
