    trying to figure out a pain in the ### issue with my breather lights , a day or so ago the passenger side air breather lights stopped working (peterbilt379,02) the driver side is working but some reason the passenger is not anymore, can't seem to find an inline fuse anywhere behind the dash or anything in the wiring coming from outside of the cab behind the breather .. any help is greatly appreciated, it seems so simple but I may be overthinking it new to the forum thanks everyone

    Did you pull the lights? Find the beginning of the circuit and if it's more than one light, test the first set of contacts. They me be set up like a string of Christmas lights. One goes, they all go after that.

    If that's not the issue, are you getting juice to the lights?
    Do you have a voltmeter?

    What's the outcome? Did you figure the problem out?

    Left and right are most likely wired to the same circuit, so you at least know you have power to the switch. Good chance your issue is a rotten ground or a broken power wire between the junction (between left and right wires) and the lights themselves.

    Hey man my apologies new to the site and with all the driving I haven't found time to reply , I haven't found the issue yet I just forgot about it until today because the weather is actually beautiful, I got a set made from 12gauge customs 4 watermelon lights each side with bullet style connectors and harness so today I will be digging through that. I have a few more questions (wiring rookie) if you don't mind an inbox I appreciate the reply and I apologize I didn't see it sooner !!

    Id ask @NorthernMechanic first. I myself am a wiring rookie, Northern probably has way more experience.

    Check and see if you have power on the left breather light harness. Volt meter or test light.
