I connected the blue wire from the bucket harness to an empty fuse terminal on the fuse block; it already had a 15A inline fuse which I moved to the fuse block. I also connected the red wire from the VR directly to the positive terminal of the #1 battery. I tested voltage at the fuse block on the blue wire and it showed 12.58 volts and I also tested the lone green wire that is from the fuse block and connected to the light switch and it has 12.58 volts also as before. These are the only wires that I rearranged. Everything else remained the same. I now do not have the red rear lights being activated and the front 6 pin connector is showing no volts. The multimeter just jumps around numerically. By the way, I tested the rear 3 pin connector on the passenger's side and it does the same. I know I am being a pain in the rear end, but what do you think is happening here? It seems that the bucket harness is not receiving any voltage at all now as it was before. |

Re: Two Blown Sets of Front Bulbs on a Basic Light Kit
In Your first post You said the rear lights were coming on, that must mean You either had the Blue wire on a +12v battery connection, or the negative black wire from the harness was not going to pack negative.
I am assuming You had the lights working before so they must have had a +12v connection on the Blue wire. You should put the headlight switch wire the way it was originally, the only difference now is that instead of the blue wire tapping one battery, it is getting its +12v from the converter.

As a quick reminder, before this change I spliced the red wire from the VR to the blue wire from the bucket harness and connected both to the #1 battery's positive terminal. In this configuration, both rear red lights were working but the front lamps were blowing. I also had voltage, but 48 plus to the front lamps which caused the blowouts. I will send you a PM.

Re: Two Blown Sets of Front Bulbs on a Basic Light Kit
The front lamps and rear reds are now working. I resinstalled the inline 15A fuse on the blue wire connected to the bucket harness and I also discovered that the green wire, at the pigtail on the VR, had disconnected.
Thanks to all who responded to my dilemna, but special thanks go to both Sergio and scottyb. Godspeed to all!!! |
