Trying to rig LED's for under the tonneau to the cargo light.
Tapped white/brown wire in driver side C post, and tapped ground wire at same location.
tested with a multimeter, everything fine.
touched LED leads to the wires I made, they flashed once, then shut off, including cab cargo light.
Lessened amount of led's by half (had a string for each side of bed), everything worked, tried other half, everything worked. tried both halves together, flash and nothing.
I grabbed another spool of LEDs (bought 2) and tried the whole spool, worked perfect.
NOW, even without any LEDs hooked in, and all wiring removed, I only get a quick flash of the stock cab cargo lights...
It acts as though there may be a circuit breaker somewhere, If it were a fuse blown, why would it flash again next time??
I'm pretty good with 12v wiring, with the new wiring system, I'm nervous about relays and such, so I went way downstream of everything, and made sure I had 12v before starting...
I'm lost... HELP!
