My new pain in the neck (cab lights)
My new pain in the neck (cab lights)
So I got my cab lights on. I used the crimp conecters on the ground and power wire. For the last light I used but splices. When I flipped the switch the light with the but splices came on. I got the crimp things to click down into place. Any ideas? I was thinking just to but splice them together.

Never use those splice connectors that are blue in color with the metal tab that slices into the wiring to make a connection. I have seen them be the cause of many a car fire. Use good quality butt connectors and preferably ones that have the shrink tubing on the ends so that you can gain one extra area of security in a good quality connection as well as some sort of waterproofing in order to resist corrosion.

I think those connectors are junk too, but I have never seen them start a car fire. Fuses are your friend.
