Tbb warranty is 5yr from date of light manufacture for ky busses. Ymmv since it's TN spec.Some of our Thomas buses have LED lights. Thomas uses Weldon lights. We don't have any problem with them and they aren't NEAR as expensive as the IC lights. IC just cheaped out.
Coinsidentally, our trucklite rep stopped in. He said the lights on the busses use a sealant that degrades when phosphate detergent hit them. After that, water intrusion kills them.
Easy killer. Just because I'm parroting what he said doesn't mean I agree. LolThat has GOT to be a load of manure....since the glue that held this SOB together was like that crap they glued a chain together with and picked up a bus! I can't see anyway for water to get inside the one I took apart. It took me over 30 minutes to get the glue seam to split without cracking the lens. I used gorilla glue to put it back. Hopefully it works for a few years. It is the nicest bus and the one my kids ride. It's one of our newest.
And with the lamps mounted vertically....it is only a flat PWB with LED's and two diodes on it. The diode failed in this one. Water can't cause that unless the lens fills up to the point that it shorts out more of the traces than the diode can handle....but I don't see that happening. The whole light would need to fill up.
Where does a person find International wiring diagrams online? Are they online like the BlueBird site has?
Well, next time I get one in that's filled with water I'll post a pic. Maybe TruckLite is the manufacturer for IC.....
I MAY be able to get access to some diagrams. Shoot me a VIN and I'll see what I can do. May be tomorrow. Got to go put a pitman arm on my truck right now.
