What is it???!?!?!

Driving down the road the other day and something fell on my foot from under the dash....
Bosch part # 12033862
Small, black,.....not sure what it is or what it does. Everything on the truck still works. Looked under the steering colum and couldnt see where it came from....

That's your spark plug controller private!

Just kidding of course. I think it's a 5-blade headlight relay. You might make sure all your lights are working (headlights high and low, running lights, blinkers, blackout lights too).

 

[combatmech]

Thats what I'm thinking.....I'll have to dig a little deeper when I have time

 

[combatmech]

I have checked all day time lights all are working.....not sure about the blackout lights. I'll check

Could have been a spare, hard to imagine it falling out of its socket. On the bright side, if no one claims it in thirty days, you may keep it!

What is it update.....Get in the truck this morning, check the lights one more time. Everything worked. Blackouts, brights, flashers.....stop at 7-11, crank her back up and nothing....no lights at all.

If the lights worked at anytime with the relay out, it's not the issue. Are you sure the toggle switch for the service/blackout lights is in the correct position?

 

[combatmech]

Yes....the lights worked. I'll have to check further when I get home.....Could it be a bad light control box?

Could be a lot of things, Check wire connections, check the fuse. If you haven't already, download the TM's for the resource section and become familiar with the wiring schematic and troubleshooting guides.

You read the thread I posted ?

 

[combatmech]

I have a TM on CD...I'll dig through it later....Thanks all

 

[combatmech]

Yes I did....thanks. That might explain a few other odd things that have been going on with the truck.

Thanks for all the help....Found a fuse that looks like it's been in the truck since day one. Off to autozone.....
