    IMG_4115.jpg Hi everyone. My first truck mod was installing an aftermarket grille with LED lights. I installed it back in March but recently have been having issues with the lights. They will be running fine then will turn off without reason. I have the lights hooked up to the 10A INJ fuse and it was working fine previously. Could this be an issue with the grounding wire? It’s odd because I will try different fuses without luck, then return to the 10A INJ and it will work for a few days. Any advice is appreciated!

    it sounds like an intermittent connection
    could be ground but, that it comes back when you move the supply wire makes me think its the hot wire not the ground

    I did “move the wires around” and found out it was the ground. I made the connection more secure and the lights have been working fine!
