• Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

Help with rear lights wiring

Hi Gang-

Hoping someone can help here- I’m dim-witted on all things electrical. :) Replacing my rear signals (630) with an aftermarket set (traditional lights- not LED.) So here are the Q’s:

1.) You see the big connector- tail/brake light.
2.) Two smaller sort of rectangular connectors- each one to a turn signal.
3.) The aftermarket lights have two wires that’ll of course mate to the two wires at the connectors. On the aftermarket lights one is black and the other black/white. As you see on one connector there’s a red wire and a blue, and the other connector has two blue wires. How to know which I connect a black to and the other the black/white to...especially when they’re different?

The red wire is rubbed through- explains why that signal didn’t work. I got aftermarkets b/c the stalks of the OEM’s were toast- broken. The new ones are shorter and sturdier. Thanks for your input and patience!
