GlennWest Posted April 17, 2016 Report Share Posted April 17, 2016 I used the third option wiring method which is to pull a separate line from battery to 12v switched tab. I am limited to 30 or 40 amps this way. Option 2 is run wire to 12v direct with a dead 12v from truck. This gives me up to 60 amps. My truck blue wire is hot. Can I unplug it and use direct input or do I need to pull a fuse? Also, don't know if related, when I ran this wire my left turn signal don't work unless I hold down signal lever on column. Tail light also glows dim this way. Worked fine until I ran wire and hooked up. 2003 Teton Grand Freedom towed with 2006 Freightliner Century 120 across the beautiful USA welding pipe.https://photos.app.goo.gl/O32ZjgzSzgK7LAyt1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phoenix2013 Posted April 17, 2016 Report Share Posted April 17, 2016 If you unplug blue wire you can run direct input at 60 Amps, although 12 or even 10 gauge will not carry that much current. You have some strange stuff going on with this Jackalopee and wiring, funky relay, funky signals. If it continues I might want to "re-acquaint" myself with this sucker.

GlennWest Posted April 17, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2016 Well the relay didn't change the issue. Still had to pull it out about 1/8" to work. It does work like this though. I was going to run #8 wire but couldn't find any. #10 line run. Morrow I will change and see what happens. 2003 Teton Grand Freedom towed with 2006 Freightliner Century 120 across the beautiful USA welding pipe.https://photos.app.goo.gl/O32ZjgzSzgK7LAyt1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phoenix2013 Posted April 17, 2016 Report Share Posted April 17, 2016 If the relay din'y change it, there could be a PCB issues also related to the new "behavior". Poke around but give me a call if "progress" is not forthcoming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
