WARNING - H3 Off Road Lights - Possible Fire Hazard

[H3.007]

I'd rather be an alarmist than to have somebody's child burn up because of someone's stupid mistake and the chance that a fire may happen regardless of the odds and experience.

Also, don't try riding around Pennsylvania with your covers off because you didn't feel like putting them on - its an instant invite for a respectable traffic citation.

Aren't you on 1st name basis with the PA Attorney General? Maybe you should just call him and tell him to ban all offroad light covers because of the pervasive threat to all helpless children due to their own PARENTS negligence. Sorry, buddy, this one is all you...

Anytime! Just let me know! I carry them in the truck, so they are almost always at hand in case of emergency (ps-I did the same thing as the tech when I took my panel off - forgot to hook back up the fan control, took me a full day to realize it was my own dang fault )

Eldave has done an excellent job of rebuttal, and that wiring schematic is just like mine.

I carry my schematics on the laptop....

I went into my dealership a few weeks ago and they had one of those blue limited edition H2T in the showroom. My sales guy comes up and tells me how sweet it is and I was drooling, I love that blue color.

I look up at the off road lights on the roof and ask "Are those warped covers included? Cause they look like crap."

He looks up and the look on his face about made me laugh. I said "good thing I bought the H3 without the off road lights". Someone had left the lights on and melted the covers. He promply had the service dept out there moving stuff around.

moral of the story: Can happen to anyone. Like mom always says "Turn off the lights!"

note to self: Dont argue with evldave

Lucky you I wasn't about to spend $400 on the DVD (I tried a group buy with friends/family, but everyone said "It's a new truck, why would I need a FSM?"). Now, I just carry around 20lbs of paper with me everywhere I drive.

And we should close down the trails that are getting all torn up by 4 wheelers and bikers. Save the forest for our children! (unless they get all burnt up by leaving you light covers on and starting the city on fire) then we can keep the trails open

If I leave the stove on, a candle lit, or the Iron on, and it burns my house down, who can I blame?

Really, thanks for the heads up! I always like it when I can learn from someone elses mistake. God knows I make enough of my own!
