LED Worklights...Got me stumped
Posted: Fri Apr 18, 2014 5:26 pm
Hi, I need some help please!
I am trying to wire up 2 new worklights to existing wiring on my roofrack. My old lights worked fine just one of the mounts broke and wanted to upgrade. All my accessories are hooked up through a marine switchboard with each accessory on an individualy fused(running 15 amp fuses) toggle switch which works fine with everything else. Getting 16.8 volts at every switch. My problem is the new lights just will not work on the existing wiring. I have tried them hard wired to my battery at 16.8 volts and no problem. Have tried them through the cig socket plug on same switchboard, no problem. Have checked voltage at the wiring with the switch flicked on and it too is at 16.8 volts. The old lights work fine when hooked back up. Have had this setup for 5 years and never missed a beat.
Can someone please tell me wtf is going on? TIA
