• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Lighting relay and converter for trailer

I installed the Bushtec hitch, and installed the relay and converter.

I don't get an output from the relay

Test points:
Load side of inline fuse - power
Load side of connection from relay - no power

Any ideas?

I'm not familiar with this specific relay or it's purpose but there are only two things to check on a relay in this case. Are the contacts pulling in and, if so, do you have the power from the bike that you are looking for on the "feed" side of the contacts?
 
The inputs, turn signals, running and brake lights have continuity at the connection point. No way to tell if signals are tripping the relay...it's a sealed solid state module.
 
relay issue

My first call would be to John Preston and his team at Bushtec. Just about anyone on the crew can walk you thru a detailed troubleshoot. 'Course that means wait till Monday.

Meanwhile, check the ground coming from the relay - it must have a complete circuit internally.

More later . . . .

Bushtec's trailer Iso are made by Electrical Connextion. The newer tailer iso have to have the ground wire hooked up to battery and the red wire powered up .
