Has anyone had their Brite Box melt when mounted under the hood? I have mine mounted on top of the fuse box and it's gotten hot enough to melt part of the plastic Brite Box. I noticed something wasn't right when my headlights stayed on after I turned them off. Just wondering if anyone else has had this problem?

 

I do recall someone else complaining of their brite box melting here a while back. Sounds like more there can be more amps than the system can handle than the mounting location.

 

I think it only happens on the 06.5's

 

I don't know. It's been doing fine for almost a year now. It first started acting up the same night I towed home a big '71 Blazer. Probably the most weight I've ever towed plus I did it with 4.4 on #9 and the sticks. Water temps stayed in check according to the stock gauge so it's hard to believe the underhood temps were that much higher than normal.

Nice hand, sir.

 

It's a problem with the Can-Bus trucks I've read. Not a problem with your under-hood temps. It's a defect in the Brite Box.

Call Geno's. They'll probably warranty it.

 

Thanks...that's good to know.

CANBus bites!

 

Yes...I have melted two...

I need to send myine back again. Hopefully they have fixed it by now. I love that thing.

 

Hey-- if you wind up with extras.. I could use one!
