Thank you for watching! I’m glad you enjoyed the video.

Hi Joseph! They adaptation options won’t be exactly the same between the Patriot and other supported models, but as far as I can tell from the demo settings in the JScan app, LED/HID light settings like those described in this video appear to be present!

I’ve always been interested in scuba diving, but have never taken the plunge! I’m glad you enjoyed the video and may take up magnet fishing!

@@completepete I completed the reel and am excited to try it out. I bought a stainless steel bolt at Ace without realizing it wouldn't be very magnetic. I might see about how it would be to magnetize the bolt, or maybe I'll buy a magnet and attach it inside the reel. The rope coiled up nicely on the reel and is no longer a mess. By the way, I used to scuba dive sometimes from a kayak (I think it was an Ocean Kayak Scupper Pro TW (Tank Well) that I bought from Bass Pro). Your video reminded me of that.

Thanks for watching and glad your reel came out as expected. Hope you have a great summer and good luck with your treasure hunting!

Thanks for watching RCWing! To my knowledge, there is not a trusted, publicly available application for Chevy that serves the same purpose as JScan for CDJR or ForScan for Ford. To help troubleshoot this further, could you provide some additional details including: (1) Does your vehicle have halogen or HID bulbs from the factory, (2) How long are the low beams running before they turn off/turn back on sporadically, (3) when the low beams turn back on (one, or both), is there a certain period of time until they will turn back on, and (4) What method is LasFit asking you to use to install their adapters? I would imagine that CANBUS/AntiFlicker adapters are needed in your situation, but I'd like to work through some of the questions I posed above to help identify any other solutions.

​@@completepete lasfit sent me two canbus' to install. However, the way they want me to install them is by cutting the dust cap and using a crap ton of electrical tape to secure everything. I'm an aircraft electrician by trade and the fix they wanted me to try is not something I would do on an aircraft.

​@@completepeteI apologize for the late response but I never saw a notification saying anyone responded to my comment. I appreciate you sending a message.

​​@@completepeteyes, my truck came with halogen light bulbs. It's usually with the first 60 seconds of driving they will either both turn off and both come on, one turn off and come back on, or one turn off and not come back on. If both or one dosen't come back on I just flip the light switch from auto to on and it usually fixes the issue.

Did your purchase include LasFit’s dust covers with the integrated fan, or are they suggesting you cut into the stock rubber dust cover? I’d be curious to see, through a temporary install, if the canbus adapters solve the issue - you could probably design a more efficient/clean way to add them into the loop than what the company is suggesting if that seems to solve your problem, or, perhaps another manufacturer makes bulbs with integrated canbus. If I were troubleshooting, I’d remove the dust cover and hook up one of the canbus adapters (fastened with zip ties or tape temporarily) and assess the result. Does your truck have daytime running lights? Often, DRLs run at a lower intensity which can produce odd interactions with aftermarket LED bulbs. Does the problem occur if you turn the lighting dial to “on” before the bulbs turn off the first time? I’m wondering if the “auto” feature is somehow playing a role.

Glad you’ll be able to put this to good use! Thanks so much for watching and happy paddling.

Thank you Jorge. Hope the video was helpful!

Thank you Jim, much appreciated…

Thanks for watching! I’ve not personally tested this on the 2009 Durango, but the JScan app supports that model year. Have you tried adding canbus modules/decoders to your vehicle? Some research on my end suggests that may be a solution for your issue

Thanks for watching! If you want to send me a few pictures of your rack via email to [[email protected]], I’d be happy to provide some suggestions for adapting to your use case! Good luck!

Thanks for the kind words Vinny! Glad you enjoyed the video and happy paddling.

Shut the hell up and cook dinner

Thanks for watching! A number of folks have found that CanBus Anti-Flicker modules are helpful to prevent this issue, however, if the bulbs are of good quality, the method described in this video to change the configuration of your vehicle’s computer may be successful. In your case, I would purchase a good anti-flicker module and see if installing that in-line with your bulbs stops the problem. If that doesn’t work, move on to the method I describe in this video. Largely, everything you need can be obtained from Amazon and returned if you find it doesn’t work, with the exception of the JScan license which you can’t get a refund for.

@@completepetethank you I appreciate it. I’ll try it out

Hi Keith - thanks for watching! I’d say they aren’t inherently designed to be used in this manner, but no significant modification was necessary. I used these hooks from Amazon [ a.co/d/27NR4JV ] and simply used a hammer to remove the existing (4) bolts that held the body of the hooks together. I didn’t attach the accompanying clamps, and instead marked the wood cross members for drilling using the now-empty carriage bolt holes. I picked up some longer bolts that were the same profile as the original set, and used them to bolt the hooks to the wood.

I’m glad to hear that this helped you! Thanks for watching, and good luck with future electrical projects!

The JScan application supports the 2005 Grand Cherokee, however, without having tested this on a 2005 model myself, I can’t guarantee it will work. If you purchase the components described in the video from Amazon, you can always return them if you find that it doesn’t work.

I think I’d install a metal extension box on the current box. www.lowes.com/pd/RACO-Steel-New-Work-Old-Work-Box-Extender-Electrical-Box/3127061. Lowes has a 1 1/2” deep version that might work. An electrical supply house may have shallower versions of the extension box. Hard to tell without photo.. by all means send some pictures to [email protected] and I’m happy to weigh in. Pete

Hi Mike, it sounds to me like your truck thinks your bulbs are out since they draw significantly less power than traditional halogen bulbs. I’d suggest CANBUS bulbs or a CANBUS adapter which will trick the vehicle into thinking the bulbs are drawing the correct amount of power. Most high quality bulbs have this technology built in, but some do require dedicated adapters. What brand bulbs did you buy? I’d check out Diode Dynamics to see if they have anything that fits your needs.

My 2015 is doing the same. I brought the Xentic HID kite, and it flicker then shuts off. I did some research and found out you have to buy a separate relay kite, and that should solve the problem.

Thanks for watching! Yes, you should go back and attach the ground wire to the mounting bracket. The ground is what trips the breaker in the event of a short circuit.

@@completepete Thanks so much!!

Thanks for watching! I’m glad to hear that this worked for you - happy paddling!

Hi there! Thanks for watching, and for your question. You’ll need to purchase a license for JScan by opening the app, clicking the settings wheel, and choosing “Manage Licenses and Account” to purchase

Thanks, I figured that out but then when I enabled "xenon' lights, I guess the 2014 is different, a bunch of check engine lights came on, I think I need something called a pwm module ??

@123gaberam have you tried in-line resistors and undoing the changes you made in the app? I’d try that before anything else to see if they work.

Thanks for watching! Good luck with your project.

I'm guessing that we'll never know.

Planning to get back to it over the winter!

Glad you enjoyed the video! Thanks for watching and hopefully subscribing

I chose to use KeelEazy tape which has been quite durable. I’m sure similar products are available and would work well also!

I’m glad to hear that the video was informative and left you with the confidence to handle this task! All of the camera credit goes to my son - couldn’t do it without him! Best of luck with your project and feel free to reach out if you have questions.
