Moisture in Mabett side lights!

[rttgnck]

As the title says I have moisture and condensation in at least one of my Mabett side lights.

Installed about a month old.

Anyone else experience this and have a fix?

Not a good sign!

I have condensation in my right side light.
I sent a picture to Ryan Gao (think I got the name correct) and he told me would replace if the light quit working.
So far it’s holding up.

I asked Amazon customer support yesterday, they just went ahead and issued a replacement/return without my explicit request. I asked if I should contact manufacturer and she said she could take care of it.

It is not uncommon for this kind of lights to experience condensation, primarily caused by temperature changes. In many cases, the condensation is temporary and will dissipate on its own as the temperature rises, without affecting normal usage. I suggest leaving your car under the sun for a while. If you are concerned about this issue, you can contact me for a replacement or refund.

Yes mine is holding moisture also and like everyone else it's also on the right side of vehicle.installed a month ago and drivers side is fine.i live in south carolina and it's already hot and the moisture is still there.the light still works(for now) but I'm afraid to going to stop working.this shouldn't happen for the price I paid for it and the install.

I plan on doing something similar to this once I have installed an AGM battery. Don't want to do any more "electrical" add-ons until I know I have resolved the "drain" issue for sure. I really wanted some side indicators similar to what I had on my 2006 Scion XB. Not too bright but enough for people to see I am merging over.

I get it. You know I thought all the Mavericks had the AGM battery. Do you know if they only used them for the lux package trims due to the increased electrical drain? Do you know how to tell if mine is AGM or just a regular lead/acid without the glass enclosure?

It will say AGM on the battery if it is an AGM battery. I learned about a battery shortage for AGM batteries during the 2022-2023 Maverick builds by someone in here (MaverickTruckClub).

Thanks, Curtis. I'll check mine out in the morning. (22 Mav here)

It's hard to see, but this is more than condensation. The bottom half had standing water in it. Installed yesterday. Hopefully it dries out. Still functioning ok for now.

Same here, it was about 1/4 inch of water. Returned to Amazon.
They're other options and less expensive
