acfortier Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 My dome lights have been flaky at best... It looks like the black wire isn't hooked up to the Euramtec light at all, should that be connected to the middle terminal on the light? I assume pink is still power, and yellow is the switched ground for the door? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pizzaman09 Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 I hope this helps. If I remember correctly, I used the Euramtec lights. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should use RED ones, those yellow ones are for much thicker gauge wire and may not crimp correctly on your wire, leaving a lot of wiggle room on your connections.

Yeah, those were already there when I bought the truck. I planned on putting the correct size on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I’m assuming the yellow wire is the same as the black w/ tracer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ωhm Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 So, your wired with the PINK wire on one end and the YELLOW wire on the other end. Is this true?? What do you mean by flaky? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do you mean by flaky? Yes, pink was wired to one end, yellow to the other, black wasn’t connected in the middle. Pushing the light from down to middle to up would induce flickering, at least for one of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ωhm Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 With this wiring setup, dome lights only worked with door switches or from the headlight switch when the dome light was set to either the UP or DOWN position only? You could NOT turn on each dome light individually using the down_middle_up switch, correct? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acfortier Posted February 19 Author Share Posted February 19 Yes, that sounds about right. Middle was off completely. I wired them up today with new terminals, Pink > Yellow > Black. Now, in the middle position, they work with the doors, but up or down seem to always be on. I think that's correct? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EdJarHead Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 Just put these in on my truck. Drivers side is working as expected, but passenger side (wired the same) only works in manual mode (moving the light up/down). When in center position, the door open is not turning it on. Maybe a bad light module?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EdJarHead Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 Thanks... too easy. It was/is in fact a faulty light. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
