Maybe put a small lightbulb in line before the LED's then to test that theory. If all goes well, remove the bulb with the power still on and see if the switch starts smoking again?

I was considering that but I got scooled a bit over in the 1st gen section and found out that LEDs actually have MORE resistance therefore less AMPERAGE so I should be less likely to burn up a switch...... I'm really confused now.

No I didn't..... Think that's a required step or more of an overkill that Jim Lane is known for.......

Dude that sucks.... who do you have service with???

With the cuttin back, one cheap temperaory option (with AT&T for sure) is to go to wally world and get a go phone, swing buy a store and they will give you a new sim card. It will work in the AT&T go phone and you can get some of those for 20 - 30 bucks. Still dont make up for the lost phone with all the lost contacts and such, but will get you out of a bind.

Hope you didnt set it down on a bed rail or something and it fell off somewhere.




Evening yall, just stopping in, watching TV with the fam. Catch yall later.

Calm down Mark, retrace where you were today. Hopefully you can find your phone.


evening DTR, got a new smoker from Bass Pro today. I smoked some spare ribs on it this afternoon/evening and they came out pretty darn good!

Well, fixed the lights on my truck tonight. Found a short in the ash tray lamp..... Stupid light hasn't worked since I've owned the truck. It is now MIA never to be anymore. What a PITA chasing shorts.

I'm out for the night. Alarm goes of in 6 hours.... See y'all in the AM.

Still wont cover you for the mental problems caused by it. Hope it showes up without any use. That would be good.
