• Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

Headlight Issue

Headlight is supposed to turn on when I twist the key but it doesn't. What it does is it blinks when I use the turn signals. I'm hoping it's just a blown fuse but what other recommendations do you guys have for me?

Sounds like an earth fault, i have struggled with this kind of issue on my trailer. Sometimes an earth has broke away, sometimes its a chafed live wire shorting. Have a look around to see if you can spot anything, check connectors for corrosion, and generally prod, poke and wiggle the loom where you can to see if anything flickers or comes back to life, then you might get a clue of the general area of any fault.
Like you have posted, start simple, check fuses, then if the bulbs are seated properly or blown, then the checks i have suggested.
Good luck :thumbsup: hope its easy found and simple to fix.

Just following up on this, there's some missing insulation on one of the wires leading into the plastic hub thingy just behind the bulb. It's actually burned the plastic a tiny bit. Put some electrical tape on there and contact cleaner and it works great again.

Thanks for the reply.
