5. Configuración e instalación

5.1 Precauciones de seguridad

• Desconecte siempre la batería del vehículo antes de comenzar cualquier instalación eléctrica para evitar descargas eléctricas o daños.
• Utilice equipo de protección personal adecuado, como gafas de seguridad.
• Asegúrese de que el área de instalación esté limpia y libre de escombros.

5.2 Instrucciones de montaje

1. Select a suitable flat mounting surface on your vehicle or trailer. The light requires a 1-inch diameter hole for the wiring to pass through.
2. Position the light and mark the locations for the mounting screws. The light features a flange mount design.
3. Drill pilot holes for the mounting screws and the central wiring hole.
4. Place the included neoprene gasket between the light and the mounting surface to ensure a sealed, moisture-proof installation.
5. Secure the light using the provided mounting screws and screw caps. Tighten screws evenly to avoid distorting the light housing.

5.3 conexiones de cableado

The Maxxima M85417R light comes with two 10-inch wires featuring female PL-3 pigtails. Connect these wires to your vehicle's electrical system according to the following general guide. Always consult your vehicle's specific wiring diagram for accurate connections.

• Alambre blanco: Connect to vehicle's chassis ground.
• Cable negro: Connect to vehicle's tail/running light circuit.
• Red Wire (from 3-wire plug): Connect to vehicle's brake/turn signal circuit.
• Red Wire (from 2-wire plug): Connect to vehicle's reverse light circuit.

Note: The ground wires for both light circuits are typically shared. Ensure all connections are secure, properly insulated, and protected from environmental elements.

For some vehicles, particularly those with older incandescent flasher relays (e.g., certain Jeep Wranglers), installing LED lights may cause 'hyper-flashing' of turn signals. This occurs because LED lights draw less current. To resolve this, an LED-compatible flasher relay or load resistors (not included) may be required.

6. Instrucciones de funcionamiento

The Maxxima M85417R light operates automatically in conjunction with your vehicle's electrical system:

• Tail Light Function: When your vehicle's headlights or parking lights are activated, the red LEDs will illuminate at a lower intensity, serving as tail lights.
• Stop Light Function: When the brake pedal is pressed, the red LEDs will illuminate at a higher intensity, signaling braking.
• Función de señal de giro: When the turn signal lever is engaged, the red LEDs will flash to indicate a turn or lane change.
• Back-Up Light Function: When the vehicle is shifted into reverse, the white LEDs on the outer ring will illuminate, providing clear back-up lighting.

7. Mantenimiento

To ensure optimal performance and longevity of your Maxxima M85417R light:

• Limpieza: Clean the lens regularly with a soft cloth and mild soap and water. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the polycarbonate lens.
• Inspección: Periodically inspect the light for any physical damage, cracks in the lens, or loose wiring connections.
• Integridad de la junta: Ensure the neoprene gasket remains properly seated and intact to maintain its moisture-proof seal.

8. Solución de problemas

• La luz no funciona:
  • Check all wiring connections for proper contact and ensure they are securely fastened.
  • Verify that there is power supplied to the light's circuit.
  • Inspect the vehicle's fuses related to the lighting system.
• Turn Signals Hyper-Flashing:
  • This is a common issue when replacing incandescent bulbs with LED lights due to lower current draw.
  • Install an LED-compatible flasher relay or appropriate load resistors (not included) into the turn signal circuit.
• Humedad dentro de la lente:
  • Ensure the neoprene gasket is correctly positioned and not damaged.
  • Verify that all mounting screws are tightened evenly to create a proper seal.
