But again, I went from the Fusebox -->AAC--->switch--->inverter---CC

---*Without any 18 gauge wire for testing purposes. The only wires used were the ones included w/ the AAC, switch and inverter. Somethings gotta be wrong with my AAC or fusebox. >_< But i have 2 AACs and neither worked.

 

bump...help please!

 

plez post pics when finish .............

 

I tried removing the AC Fuse then using the Mini-Add-a-circuit to draw power from there but still no dice. What is wrong?!! Please help.

 

dude, look at your fuse box, and there should be 4 rows

now, go to the last row, the one nearest to the floor

then, move to the 3rd slot from the left, should be empty, use that slot
It is a constant power source, so that way the cat doesnt have to be on to allow the leds or w/e to be utilized

 

Yeah, I did that too, but it doesn't give me any power. I've tried multiple AACs, switches and transformers. I cant seem to find the problem.

 

well then one of your wires is loose

what type of fuse are you using?

 

I've done it without any of my wires being loose. I've tested it over and over. No power seems to come from my Fuse box. There must be something simple I am missing.

What do you mean what fuse?

 

your fuse, the thingy u r sticking into the fusebox

 

OMG do you ride the short bus to school? j/k
I'm sorry that was mean.

Seriously tho'

You might have your mini add- a circuit plugged into a slot in the fuse box that only gets power when the key is turned on. Or one of your wires is not corrected properly, as was also mentioned.
Remeber you MUST have the fuse plugged into the "spot labeled B" in your pic, and you MUST be grounded. If you dont do either or both of these things you will not get a current, hence no power to the lights.

It's probably somehting simple like you said, and would be easily diagnosed by just looking around.
Do you have any friends that are a little more experienced? Buddy, Dad, or even mom? hehe

If I were there I could probably point it out to you pretty quick.

Hope you get it workin'!

Hmm... The grounding must be set for it to work? Well thats probably the the problem... I'll test it tommorow.

 

Thanks for all the help, here's the pictures of trunk and handle bars.






I'm not good with the camera, not sure how to capture the cathodes like others can.

 

np, looks good, a lot of hard work,

keep it up

how'd you secudre the led's to the handles, and what type of led did u put in there?

 

I knew you could do it! Good job Disturbanz

I think those are Cathodes, not LED's Bird.

But I second his questions, how did you end up secureing the cathodes to the handles? also in the cargo area, how did you secure the 12" cathodes?

 

make sure the fuse you add is a 1 amp for one set of CC.

( one set is 1 tranny and 2 light bars, CC's)

i have 13 CC's in my Bx

I should know.

I've done my research

Hope this helps.

 

They are cathodes as D_M_A_N stated, and to do the handles I just followed surfcitylocal's DIY Guide.

https://www.scionlife.com/forums/vie...391&highlight=

They are secured by removing the handles then reapplying them. For the trunk, the cathodes are not secure yet.

Btw, mushroomdreamer, does it have to be 1amp fuse? My 3 amp fuse blew. Now its using 5 amp

 

I think he means 1 amp for every two cathodes your running on the circuit.
You should be fine.

 

Strangely I was using 4 4" on one 3amp and it blew. >_>

 

Just finished up some of mine tonight.I have alot more to do, I changed the bulb on the third tail to a 194 fits great and still works good....














P.S. sorry about the bugs LOL

Eddie

 

Can you make a DIY for the ones you put in the trunk? xD
