Due to the sensitivity of certain OEM headlight control modules, Boss Products has changed the connector plugs on two of its headlight adapter kits. The MSC9993 & MSC8839 headlight adapter kits will now have hard plastic connector ends that simulate the OEM connectors. These new connector ends will also have a locking mechanism which maintains a positive connection.

The reason for this change is the TIPM module on the 2006 & Newer Dodge, and the SPDJB on the 2008 & Newer Ford Super Duty’s, are extremely sensitive to poor connections. If a poor connection is detected, the control module may shut down one or more headlight functions. It is strongly recommended that these NEW headlight adapter kits be used on the vehicles stated above.

 

NOTE: When connecting and disconnecting these new adapters it is important that the locking mechanism be used properly. If the connectors are forced apart, the plastic lock will break, which may cause a poor connection.

As you may have heard the Winter Flurries are starting to fly very early and very fast during this 08-09 Snow & Ice Season. We are alerting our customers to make sure that you are prepared for you season. Below is a radar image from The Weather Channel showing the Snowfall within the next 36 Hours. The Upper East Coast received almost 11” accumulation already and it isn’t even Halloween yet. Please take advantage of this notice to check out your plow/spreader systems to make sure of their functionality before it’s too late and you find yourself in a bind and have to rush to get the parts.

 

Please contact any one of our Sales Reps or Tech Support regarding parts/equipment you need and we will take the time to assure you are prepared for this season.

There has been a change in 2008 that you are going to need to use Part Number 07548. This is going to include a Type 2 module that matches to ALL 2008 & Newer Truck Applications. Using the old Meyer Night Sabre 07115 kit, will trigger a default code in your vehicle that could lead up to the truck not starting, and being stranded which the only fix is to have the vehicle towed to the nearest Authorized Service center that will have to reprogram the PCM in your vehicle. Below is the diagram of the new 07548 Meyer Night Sabre harness kit with schematic showing how the installation of the wiring. If you have a 2008 & Newer Vehicle and have a Meyer Snowplow, this is the correct harness you are going to need to purchase. 07548 is available in 2 separate ways: It comes with the 07234 Night Sabre Light kit, or you can purchase it separately. We hope that this tech tip can benefit you, as we strive to make sure that CPW customers are first to hear the latest and greatest in the Snow & Ice Removal Industry..
