Canopy interior light feed.

#1 by Jon Grimsby , Tue Dec 08, 2015 5:53 pm

I know I have read it somewhere but I cannot find it, my 'new' canopy has two wires hanging near the bulkhead from the interior light, where will I find the feed wires?

Mine came from the nearside rear light cluster , canopy light would only work with the lights on

My 2005 Classic didn't have any so I wired to the rear light feed, as you only need the canopy light when its dark, just flick the sidelights on.
My 2006 New Shape didn't have any, I wired direct to the battery with an inline fuse.
My 2013 Has a Truckman canopy and it runs off 4 x AAA batteries.

I am guessing there must be something near the bulk head otherwise they would not have routed the wires all the way from the light to the front ???

You mean to the front of the tub? Mines hanging there so am still guessing there must be a couple of wires somewhere behind the passenger seat maybe? If it ever stops raining here I will have a good look.
