Ian Cull Auto Up Help

I tried installing this last night and think I connected it wrong. When I pushed the window toggle to go up the window went down. When I pushed it up nothing happened. I switched the harness around and the windows worked properly but without the auto up because I have not programmed it yet. My problem is now the headlights won't come on. I can't find the blown fuse for some reason. Any hints where it might be blown at? Also has anyone seen this model of an Ian Cull? It looks like it has an extra board on it for some reason.

Thank you. I thought he was long gone from this stuff for some reason.

If you do the blind-install method. It is VERY easy to plug it in so the plugs are not aligned....
I would try again...or do the non-blind method...you might need to straighten a bit of plastic on the connector if it was plugged in wrong on the first try....might not...
I remember (years back) I did mine blind....had some odd results like you...
I unplugged it....and got it right the second try.

First step would be to pull the module and plug in the OEM plug. If the lights then work, you know the module is the issue. Sometimes pins can get bent when installing the module - check that second. The later versions included an 'auto fog light' feature, which may account for the extra board, and a possible reason the lights wouldn't work, if that particular pin were bent.

My install was done the long way. I put in a new HK head unit, added the Aux cord and put in a 6 toggle bank of switches. I just found the blown head light fuse. I checked all of the pins and connectors and they all look good. I'm going to try plugging in the board again and see what happens. I bought 10 extra fuses just in case.
