So im riggin up the lights in my truck for the show this weekend. I got it all hooked up like it is supposed to be, and i can get the headlights and the front hazard lights to work but the rears and the speaker is not working. they are on the same cord off the main board so im not sure what is going on.

anyone know what to do? im going over the wiring and the instructions but it all seems right.

which european truck are you fitting the lights to
I have Scania R620 and a Mercedes 1838 both fitted with an MFU and lights and the wires for the rear lights on the Scania reach the mfu in the cab with no problem at all, the mercedes with its shorter chassis I have too much wire in the cab from the rear lights, it is the same with the front lights the wires are too long, because the MFU kit was designed for the USA truck kits with a sleeper cab, where the MFU is mounted in the sleeper portion of the cab
in the scania I positiond the MFU so that the sockets for the lights are on the rear of the cab

You could always cut the wires, lengthen them with some splices, and solder everything back together again. A little heat shrink on the wires and it will be as good as anything new.

I have the 1838. was originally a single axle but is now a double.

I managed to get it to work. had to extend one set of wires and had to relocate the back up beeper closer so the wires would reach.

The MFU sits in the cab differently then the light kit. The level where the cab tilted up holder is, the far left on that picture is where the block sits for the light kit.

you can see it in this picture when i had it all apart. it is just up and to the right of the motor in the picture.

Woah, are those Sandscorcher tires and rims on there? Puller truck, or something?
