LED light

Post by crumpet_avenger » Thu Sep 21, 2017 6:03 am

Gday all. Im clueless to wiring and finding solutions to problems so what better than to ask you lot.

Went out on the weekend to give the boat a run and found my right spotlight not working. Its 3 years old. Wiring all looks fine. I thought theae things were bullet proof.

Anyone know of any possible causes or anywhere to get it repaired/replaced

Check that:-
1...All battery connections are clean and tight
2...Switch is actually working.
3...Check that Battery is fully Charges
4...Check that wiring from battery to the light, at the rear of the light, is correct and getting power from the battery
5...Remove the "faulty" right hand light as well as the OK Left hand light, then install the "faulty" right hand light where the Left hand light was fitted - If it still fails it is the Light // If it works, there must be a fault in the wiring on the right hand side.

Option - Visit local Auto electrician and get them to check it over for you.

just run a positive and negative from a known good battery straight to the dodgy light. If it's still not working it's the light, if it works then you have to go through your main wiring and work out what's the problem
