Today I wired up a bunch of small round LEDs. They're all wired into my parking lamps. They worked for about 20 minutes and then they all turned off and won't come back on. My roof cab lights are wired into the parking lamps as well and they won't come on either. My grill lights (raptor style LEDs) are also wired into the parking lamps and they come on just fine. If there was a problem with it overloading wouldn't they all be out? Any ideas?

And I'm pissed because it looked awesome.

Check fuse for parking lights?

Wired directly to the same circuit?

Curious how you wired them as well.

Also any daytime pics of the lights mounted, specifically the front fenders. Did you mount to the bumper or the flares?

The ones on my running boards never have a problem, the footwell ones have have a problem right now.

I'm still trying to diagnose it. These draw such little power I can't see them blowing anything. Even if I mixed up one ground wire. My understanding was that if one wasn't grounded properly it would not have turned on at all right?

If your parking lights still then your fuse should be good, if not then I would start with checking them, so many different ones on these trucks. If the lights are all on the same circuit, then look for an open. Some lights wired in series are designed poorly, so if one goes out it will create an open and none will work on that circuit. Try using a multimeter on resistance setting and read one end to the other to check for open. I think if you had a short, it would blow the fuse also.

Sounds like it's time for some jumper wire fun.

Sounds like a bad ground,
Parking light still work, so fuse is good, fuse is carrying positive
Other lights are dead wired to same circuit, so unless you wired your lights in series (like old Christmas lights) when 1 light dies it kills everything else on that series
