I’m having some issues with my Spod and Baja Designs RTL-S setup in my 392 and hopefully someone with some insight can shed some light on this for me. Both spod’s are setup for positive triggers and here’s my current setup.
Spod #1 Touch Screen (under hood)
Channel 1: Linkable XL Light Bar
Channel 2: XL 80’s A-Pillar Lights
Channel 3: Squadron Fog Lights (Trigger 3: Fog Light Harness)
Channel 4: S2’s Right Scene Lights
Channel 5: S2’s Left Scene Lights
Channel 6: S8 Amber Bumper
Channel 7: Squadron Rear Bumper Lights
Channel 8: S1’s Rear Scene Lights
Spod #2 HD Panel (rear)
Channel 1: RTL-S Brake Lights (Trigger 1: none connected)
Channel 2: RTL-S White Light (Trigger 2: Tow Harness Reverse)
Channel 3: RTL-S Right Amber Light (Trigger 3: Tow Harness Right Turn Signal)
Channel 4: RTL-S Left Amber Light (Trigger 4: Tow Harness Left Turn Signal)
Channel 5: Unused
Channel 6: Unused
Channel 7: Unused
Channel 8: RTL-S Running Lights (Trigger 8: Tow Harness 12V Ignition)
All 8 channels on Spod #1 work without any issues from the touch screen, hd panel and iOS app. Channels 1, 2, 3, 4 & 8 work without any issues from the touch screen, hd panel and iOS app. Note channels 5, 6 & 7 are unused and there is no trigger wire identified for the channel 1 (brake lights) at this time.
Tow Breakout Harness
Red - Reverse
Green - Right Turn Signal
Yellow - Left Turn Signal
Brown - +12V Ignition
Black - +12V Battery
White - Ground
Blue - Unused
When it is started the running lights (channel 8) come on without any issues. The white light (channel 2) comes on without any issues when shifted into reverse. The left amber (channel 4) and right amber (channel 3) lights come on without any issues when using the left and right turn signals. Here’s where I’m at a loss, when I push the brake pedal, both left and right amber lights come on. When I turn on the hazard button both the left and right amber lights simultaneously flash.
I need help first identifying what to use as the channel 1 trigger for the brake lights. Second, I need to sort out the amber lights coming on when the brakes are pushed. When I look at the schematics it shows the turn signals and brake being used by the same wire so that has me thinking it’s some type of pulse, etc. Surely someone else has installed the RTL-S in their JL and figured this all out!
Thanks in advance and any help will be greatly appreciated!!!
