Passenger ignitor went on passenger light this weekend.........thank god it wasnt the ballast. Spent 3 hours swapping ballasts and checking all the wiring, come to find out it is just the ignitior on the rear of the bulb causing the outage.

Called up Nalley and Dan, they will have it out to me tomorrow. 102 shipped for it. UGHHHH

So if anyone else has issues check your ignitor before ordering ballasts.

 

Would the light come on at all?

My wifes will come on but then go off shortly. If she turns her lights on and off it will come back on, stay on for about 30 seconds and then go off.

 

factory xenon or aftermarket?

 

Factory but I did replace the bulbs in July with no factory.

 

the ignitor on mine went out a few times while driving, and then onc i cycles the lights it came back on. Finally it quit all together. I removed the front bumper and swapped ballasts, and also swapped lights side to side. It was then i started looking inside the lights as it wasnt a wiring issue at all with the vehicle. I finally switched the ignitors around and that is where the issue came from.

It is 102 shipped from Nalley for the part.

I have a pic of what the ignitor looks like i will post in a few.

Also make sure the ignitor is seated correctly. The 4 tabs must be locked in correctly. And then plug it in. If you look at the ignotor plug, there is a micro switch inside of it that moves to lock the light in.

 

Yes, please post a pic if you have one. I have no clue what an ignitor looks like. I really hate having to take the front bumper off on this thing again. It's not hard but one of those things that's just a pain in the rear. Also, having to either put it back on or waiting until you get the part but you have to figure out what it is.

 

Ok, so I looked up the ignitors and I remember seeing that. I believe it was on the back and you had to twist it back on. Maybe I'm wrong but I do remember it.

Question, is there a way to test the ignitor itself? I can' remember if it's wired in or if I can use the drivers side to see if that's what it is.

 

Thats the ignitor

 

you can plug the drivers side into the passenger wiring......same plug on both sides. And vice versa.

Thats the first thing i did to verify it wasnt a wiring issue in the vehicle.
