More of an update.

I've replaced the fuses for GI and checked for loose connections to the boards. All fine.

Left the translate off and did some more tests and noticed something i missed last time.
The GI build DO WORK..... #*#  BUT... not very bright  !@#

When i did my checks before, i always put the translate back in place but the bulbs are so dim that they don't shine through! Only the flashes shine through.

So with this new info i looked further.
While leaving the power on so all GI's are working. I took one out and the others got brighter. The more i took out the brighter the remaining ones got.

So intact they have been working all along....but not very well.

I then started looking around for other bad connections and found this burnt wire connectors.
Hopefully the pic attaches below as not done this before.


Trying to order new connectors to replace burnt ones.
Do you think this is the problem or with this new info is it something else causing the dim GI?
