night hauler side marker lights
i hope this is the right section i have the night hauler and i want to put lights in the side maker spots hop you guys know what im talking about how would i wire these up to the mfu would i need an extra relay

Re: night hauler side marker lights
nope just wire them in to the front turn signals and your done very simple that is how i have mine and it works just fine. keith

Re: night hauler side marker lights
I have wired them into my Parking lights circuit, no relay required if you are using LEDS (Low curent Draw) so they can be run with the parkers. The other way is to wire them into the speed indicator lighting circuit, so they can be switched seperatly than the parkers, but the parkers will have to be turned on for this to work. Hope this helps.

Re: night hauler side marker lights
Well, further update, I have added more lights tonight (Side step and sleeper lights) and have ended up having to split them up between the head lights and aux light channels, to get enough voltage to run everything. Maybe the idea of a relay is closer than I thought.
Looks great in the end though! |
Re: night hauler side marker lights
cammo can you send me a pic up your setup if possible
|
Re: night hauler side marker lights
It's easy as I have done it. I'll draw you a diagram and take pics of it

Re: night hauler side marker lights
Ok i belive you are trying to acheive this?
http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b1...r/DSCF7345.jpg If so i used port J15 on the MFU took a MFU lead from the globe i wasnt using happend to be a brown and yellow one... I cut the stock wires about 6" from the plug and solderd new wires on i used brown to brown and a white with brown stripe to the yellow ( i use Cat-5/phone wire its small bendable and works great) the brown wire in this case is our possitive wire + and soldered that to the Poss of the first LED or the rounded side looking at the bottom of it (should have the longer post). take a seperate wire doesnt matter what color and solder it to the negative ( be sure to cut one long enough to run to next LED) like so http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b1...iner/diag1.jpg Then take the neg from LED 1 and solder it to the Poss + of LED #2. Take another wire and solder it to the neg like so http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b1...iner/diag2.jpg Now the neg lead from LED 2 ( i should mention the neg side of the LED is flat on that side when looking at the bottom) and solder it to the Poss to LED 3 http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b1...iner/diag3.jpg Repeat soldering the neg from LED 3 to the Poss of LED 4 BUT this time the neg from LED 4 goes to your yellow wire from the MFU in this case being our white with brown stripe wire. http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b1...iner/diag4.jpg If done correctly you will then have this http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b1...r/DSCF7352.jpg http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b1...r/DSCF7355.jpg Hope that was what you were looking for and it helped. If you run into issues just shoot me a PM and i can help walk you thru some more. :cool: |
Re: night hauler side marker lights
Hey mate, I will get some picks and post them, but not until nnext week, work breakup this weekend so away for a couple of days down the beach.
I have used every channel on the MFU, and doublled up on most of them, problerm I had was the voltage drop when running too many LEDs fromt he once connector. I have got PMD under Cab and Under step lights both side, parkers fornt and rear, rear clearance lights, on the side of the bumper, roof clearance and speed lights, etc. Thew other suggestion I would have is if you dont use the FU Spped light function (Where the gear and speed dictate how many lights on on the roof) then you could wire these all together from one connector, and then use the other to power your clearance lights? |
Re: night hauler side marker lights
Hey DaBears, nice Rig, I like the side steps, looks sweet as! Your builds are very cool mate, keep em comming!

So with that in theory you should be able to take the 3 speed indicators and wire them like the side marker lights in a series and put off 1 plug. then that opens up poss room for 4-8 more lights you can wire in... Tamiya Cowboy and Travis are the real wizards on the adding extras to the MFU. Maybe one of them will chime in :rolleyes: |
Re: night hauler side marker lights
Buy a servonaut and you wont have that problem ;);)

Re: night hauler side marker lights
Who sells the servonaut, and what features / costs are associated with it?
