    He has room for trailers while they’re working on it. I don’t think you’d be able to leave them there for days though

    Ok, been busy haven't had the chance to really go through the wires on either my taillights or lightbar but since the taillights work and I haven't needed the strobe, I keep doing other things.

    I don't do a lot of night driving, but noticed something strange last night. There was a bad wreck in Port Jervis yesterday, I got stuck on the mountain waiting on them to clean it up and so I did a split sleeper and took off at 2am to make my delivery. So long story short, even with the in line fuse removed, my strobe was coming on for a second or two intermittently. It was doing the flash pattern I have it set on, not just staying solid.

    The fuse is only about 6 inches from the battery, but if it' removed, the circuit should be broken, right? How is it still getting power? Is it possible that it overheated from getting too much power and that's why it was staying on? I think that could explain an arc making the connection, but now I'm not sure how to fix it properly

    They don't have much room. Just call and ask. They may tell you where you can drop it at.b

    If you pulled the fuse and its still lighting up then you have a short to power somewhere between the fuse and the light.

    I'm not sure I'm following you. The only power to it is 1 line from the battery to the light. In that line, there is a fuse (that I pulled) about 6 inches from the battery. There is no other power to it or near it that it could be touching anywhere. I ran that line all by itself.

    I know that, maybe it's rubbing a terminal in the battery box, but once it leaves the battery box, there's no chance. That's why I was asking if it could be getting too much power and somehow arcing on itself inside the fuse connection. If that' not even a remote possibility, it must be rubbing on a terminal, I'll check it out sometime this week

    It could of melted itself together at the fuse.

    If this is directed at me, also straight off the battery.
