I am not a mechanic not am I mechanically inclined but both the wife and I chose to install this ourselves. We also chose to hard wire it instead of the plug and play method.
Now it is mounted correctly and it works but there are a couple of problems that I cannot figure out.
It only works correctly when we are applying the brakes? Both the turn signals and brake lights work only when we apply the brake. The running light does not work and the white reverse light does not work on the lightbar.
I've connected all the wires using quick splice wire connectors. I connected the yellow, brown, white and green wires and matched them up with the same colors. I connected the additional white Reverse Light wire to the reverse taillight module. There were two wires in there. One black and one purple. We connected it to the black wire as we watched a YouTube video from OPT7. The original white reverse light still works but the white light on the lightbar does not light up. We have a Multimeter but do not know where and how to use it to verify which wire to connect it to. I've searched everywhere on the internet for videos or wiring diagrams for the 2017 Ram Rebel and cannot locate one.
This is the model of the light bar we purchased: https://www.amazon.ca/Tailgate-Conn...=sr_1_11?keywords=opl5&qid=1587308582&sr=8-11
