running board leds stopped working
so i hooked up some running board lights on my truck on the right side door panel to the purple wire which the instructions said to do. well they worked for about a week and now that purple wire lost power and im not sure what its for and cant figure out which fuse to check.

yes, looks like your locking splice might have slipped, remove them and either solder the wires or use Posi Tap connectors. A bit pricey, but well worth the money.

I installed aftermarket lighted running boards on my 2001 F150 and had nearly every wire break internally (insulation was intact) after a couple of years on the wiring harness. Ended up rebuilding the harness('s) with quality 12v wire('s).
A multi-meter (or test light) will assist you with determining where you are loosing the power at, start at the line tap, then fuse, wiring to lights, etc. Good luck
