Av8r3400 Posted December 12, 2022 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2022 She got her bath today. She's still filthy because a bath at 34ºF is just not that effective. The good news is that she's home and back in her barn. Now to start trouble shooting all the add-on lights.

Av8r3400 Posted February 18, 2023 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2023 (edited) A balmy 38º F here today so I was able to do some wiring repairs. We have driver side chicken lights working again... After the lighting strike most of these LEDs don't work at all and a couple would work only on running eight or signal light...

rickeieio Posted February 19, 2023 Report Share Posted February 19, 2023 I'm envious Larry. 🤣 It'll be a chilly 76 here tomorrow, and a few clouds. Yuck. That said, we had frost the past two mornings. West Texas ain't too bad in Feb.

Av8r3400 Posted February 20, 2023 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2023 (edited) They're forecasting up to 2 FEET of snow for us this week, so I took the truck to my business shop today so I could do some more work to the lights. I finished the bedside chicken light repairs. Then I did some testing of the Boogey Light system. Obviously the control box is totally cooked, but the wiring to the LED strips seems okay. The system has two circuits. One circuit has lights on the farings and the sides of the cab. This is the circuit that took the lighting strike. Surprisingly some, *SOME* of the LEDs still worked. The other circuit seems to be all good, it just needs the new controller. One step closer to being back to where we were before mother nature took us to the wood shed...
