Wiring Windshield Light HELP!!!
#21
now you have me confused. Earlier you stated that you have power to the fuse, but no output...was this in reference to the fuse tap @ the block or the cartridge fuse holder? seems in the statement above you have power to the input side of the cartridge holder with no output? (in which case I would tell you replace the fuse holder with a blade type holder and fuse). When you remove the tap from the fuse block and read from the tap to the end of the wire (removed from the switch) I would assume you are reading an open as you are not getting power. If you read from the tap to the inside of the cartridge fuse holder, I would assume you will also have a short or 0 ohms as you state you have power up until this point...which would make me believe that you will find an open from the output side of the cartridge holder to the end of the wire which connects to the switch. IIRC there is a small piece of copper on either end of that fuse holder that tends to fail.
Attachment 495770
I assuming that you checked and double checked your grounds?

All my grounds are solid, and what you assumed is correct; tomorrow I'll run and grab one of the blade cartridges.

Its pretty common for the hella lights to melt the fuse holders. They look normal but the copper contact melts into the plastic preventing connection. If this has happened you will not be able to push the wire out on both sides of the fuse holder when the fuse is removed.
