led driver accent strip lights not working after aux install

[Smoke king]

I hope not as I have placed an order for a new Ram bar and the lights on top of it cost almost $3000. I'm planning to drive it down tomorrow, despite the hurricane weather conditions. Do you know what type of fuse I should check, so that I can do it myself?

Make sure you put those on a 50 amp switch as well not a 20 amp or on the same one as the ditch lights

This is the fuse box for your Aux switches

Lots of WTF on this one... it's NOT drawing too much power - no way can a pair of LED ditch lights draw more than 20A. Typical ditch lights draw 18-20W each, so 40W is less than 4A. And, even if they did, all that would happen is the fuse for AUX6 would blow. Nothing that would cause the funkiness with the DRLs. My guess is they also fiddled around with the wiring (either intentionally or inadvertently) at the headlight connector.

Also, the fuses for AUX5&6 are in the main PDC - only AUX1-4 are in the AUX PDC.

the wiring appears to be good for the DRL lights. However, I am still unable to locate the fuse for the DRL lights, and I am uncertain which box it is in. If my amber lights are functioning properly, why is the drivers white lights not working?

 

[Tom488]

All power for the front lights comes through the Body Control Module, fed by three fuses from the Interior PDC (fuse box under the steering wheel). These are fuses 7 (40A), 31 (30A), and 36 (40A).

I highly doubt it's anything to do with fuses, as you didn't say anything about the passenger-side lighting being a problem.

Passenger side lights work fine, just the driver side white side lights dont work.
I removed fuse 36 and the lights on the passenger side went out. I removed fuse 7 and 31 but nothing happened. Any idea where the fuse for driver side would be?

They're not a 1:1 relationship. The wiring diagrams only show those three fuses feeding the BCM. What the BCM does with them is a mystery (at least, not documented in the wiring diagrams). My guess is the BCM switches power from the circuit off of fuse #36 to both front lights:

The next step would be to test the pins in the headlight connector for correct power and ground using a DVM, and if that all checks out good, the only thing remaining is an internal fault in the headlamp assembly itself.

F25 outside is for the driver side light, checked and put a new one the same problem..I’ve a feeling he did NOT remove the negative node when working on the ditch light and something went bad

Out of curiosity, which ditch lights did you go with? If i had to bet, they tried tapping into the drl right at the headlight harness and ended up shorting/cutting it.

I went with RIGID D series $249 and installed SDHQ brackets myself…it looks like a straight forward install nothing fancy, but something happened to the headlight
