2015 ram LED headlights install MUST!!

So today on the way home from the grocery store, I click on the lights and nothing. Go to check a fuse, well tipm made sure there is no such fuse to check. Drive home with the light bar on ( I mean sorry..) and spend 3 hours checking and diagnosing, googling to no avail. Then I grabbed my air compressor hose on a whim and blew off the connectors, inside the connectors, inside the house and all wire connections. Sure enough, bam back on. The tip here? I didn't use di electric grease during install because it wasn't suggested anywhere and I guess I heard mixed reviews.. so lesson learned.

Tldr: use dielectric grease on all lighting connections during install

Yup. Helps with connection and keeps moisture out

I wonder if that's my problem with my tailgate light bar. I didn't hardwire it and lately I've been pulling trailer so I've been plugging and unplugging it a lot and it stopped working

Check it for sure! I'd be interested to hear more simple resolutions like that to put the mind at ease

I wonder if when the canbus system checks for bulb outage its confused on your light bar. If so resistors would need to be wired in to keep the truck happy

Sorry bout hijacking to the op. One of my aftermarket license plate lights wires came off and is out so that may be cause of my problem also. It's a 2014 btw
