I’m not sure what the issue is. All fuses are good, all pins on the bumper read 14volts ???
I also bench tested both lights to a battery on my work bench and they both work fine….

To follow this I used some ssc2’s and they work fine from the harness I made for the other lights

I used the same lights as you 3 years ago, still going strong. Only difference is I took the connection from the Kurt plug from the back side of the trailer plug so as not to cut into anything OEM. I did use some Posi-lock connectors I got from Amazon, Di electric greased all the connections as I taped and put them back together. Put everything in lumes, taped and wire tied everything up out of the way.

Ive been following along here. Seems you may have some sort of short/loose connection that went away when you pulled it apart. They are a nightmare to deal with. Could it be mice munching on part of it? At this point you might be just as far ahead to go ahead the rewire everything from scratch and call it a day.

The mice thing has caused me to slug it out with a couple of boat trailers along the way. I understand your frustration.

I remade a new harness this go around and this time used a DT connector as well. I put dielectric grease on all connections.

In the video you can see the ssc2 work fine but these stupid Amazon ones won’t but I can’t figure out why?!

This is the harness I’m using to pull from the truck power/ground.

It's the chitty Amazon lights. Stop wasting time trying to make them work. N

But how do you explain them working off the truck on my bench? Tomorrow I’m going to see if they work with reverse polarity, I know some Chinese stuff works like that 😂
