Off Road Lights Stopped working and Drivers Side Trim Pillar Fail

[racksonblacks]

So I have some aftermarket Lights on top of my i5 h3. I didnt install them they were on there when I bought my h3. I tried to use them last night and "click" no dice. Wondering where I even start to assess the problem. Any help would be great.

Also, This is a 2-parter the drivers side front trim pillar is toast. Wont click in exposing the Off road light wires (may be a cause of my issue). Looks like Ill need a new one or figure out a solution. ANybody have to replace this or a solution to fix it?

Any help would be much appreciated!

If the plastic is loose and exposing the wires remove it and check to see if it has damaged the wires . Check the fuse .if it runs from somewhere other than the fuse block , check to see that's it getting power. Check the ground . Check the switch ( use another switch ). If still nothing run a jumper wire from the battery to the lights to make sure it's not a bad light . If one of those works great , if not get a beer and proceed to plan B .

Maybe a relay? My brushguards lights didn't work. Found out it was an easy fix, the connector under the dash pulled out of the relay

If it even has a relay! Check the wiring...I rarely trust other people's electrical work. Also, the H3 seems to be hyper-sensitive to even the smallest electrical issue, so it's even more critical that every thing is done correctly.

Since you are not familiar with what size wiring was used, if a relay or even an inline fuse was used; I would suggest cutting the wire at the lights, tape it up (or find a fuse and pull it), then run all new correct gauge wiring, correct amp relay, fuse and switch. That way, you know it was done right. And who knows where existing wires are run or connected.
It will probably save you time in the long run.

Heck, it will probably save you time right off the bat.

As for the pillar trim, the solutions are replacement, silicone or screws
