Yes! Exactly!!!!
When I got the truck there were 2-3 wires run right to the battery. NO FUSE! (Woo hoo!) and 1 went into the dash <?> and the others to the sleeper. Couldnt trace them so I cut them cleanly. Still haven't figured out what doesnt work. I suspect a TV or fridge or something...but no fuses...wow.
Maybe the Prior Owner thought fuses slow down the flow of current......

Kinda like my house every wire is 10/2 woith grounds. Every outlet is 20 amps with 30 amp Breakers. Never have a Power Failure UNLESS the Power company Fails.

This way i wire it, i run it down like you said then over too left piller, run the swicth then down too a fusa inline with 10 amp, then onto fuse box , if you run all lights together and fuse blows and always does when enter the chicken coups, all your lights will be out , this way the half alseep cooper will think there your reg lights , or you can get real tricked out, and put a flasher in line for christmas but i never stuff a big fuse in that call for, i once bought one those 12 volt coffeee makers , dang fuse blew, so i had what i had and stuff in there i think it was a 30 opp's melted the plug off in the lighter socket what a gooy mess, dang near set the truck on fire , filled up the cab with smoke and that burnt smell in my nose didnt leave my nose for a month ,never bought any more of that crap anymoreEverett.

Well...how about an update JD....
Is the fin AWOL now or are you waiting for your lights to do it all at the same time? Like mentioned before, I've leaned a collapsed 6' step ladder against the back of the sleeper and put the feet on the catwalk. Worked for me, should for you too! -
All of the clearance lights ordered. (Grakon 5000 - just like the OEM KW cab lights) - Opted for non-led to save some money for now. I can always swap the guts out later on...I picked up the wire Sunday... The rig is at the yard still, until Thursday after work. I am planning on working on this Fri/Sat/Sun - I am off all those days due to some Asbestos Abatement at work .
I have a 6' step ladder but no catwalk. I want one..just looking for a used one along with a side step thing or step thing with a tool box. My steps (13") are bashed sideways a bit from the prior owner hitting that deer.
So getting up on top of the sleeper is still an issue, sort of. Too bad I still don't work for MaBell..had a nice bucket truck back then...Gears Thanks this. -
Well I suppose you could swap out the bulbs for LED bulbs down the road. Whenever I replace a light, it's LED. They may cost a bit more, but a guy shouldn't have to worry about replacing bulbs for a long long time.
If I was in the neighborhood I'd give you a hand....Hanadarko Thanks this. -
Just too much right now.... -
why not open hood, stand on engine, crawl on roof, then crawl on sleeper
