DRL mirror switchbacks killed my truck

Is it not in one of the fuse panels? Just plug-in?

 

Yea... I have no clue still guys... That would be a whole mess of research for me

 

I assume it would be a plug in style, but no idea

 

So you ran the wires half ass and it’s the lights fault?

 

Cheaper than dealer.

 

1st problem is using that quick connect.
You'll need to get a multi meter and start checking for blown fuse. A wire short will always cause a fuse to blow.
Hopefully that's about it.

Did you contact the manufacturer of the lights?

 

I’m going with it’s a blown fuse as well. The tail lights are on a separate fuse if I remember correctly and even though it may not appear to be blown I bet it is. Like @Boosted_Carrera said check the fuses.

I had a tail light issue for a day or two as well. I believe I had to replace the one in the engine bay fuse box. @JordanJake25

 

Selective reading tonight....or is it dyslexia.

 

@caribe makaira ?

 

OP wrote in post #9 he has verified the fuses with a multimeter....

 

Yep you’re right he did say that. However he did also say he’s new to modding so I’m assuming he’s not great with wiring either. And again I had a similar issue and it turned out to be a different fuse after a day or two.

So my suggestion was to go through and check ALL the fuses not just the ones he thinks are the right ones.

 

My default with EVERY ELECTRICAL PROBLEM is always to check all fuses first because I don’t know wtf I’m doing when it comes to wires and electricity (unfortunately).

I love learning about it. But I don’t do and haven’t done enough of it to become proficient. I learn as I go. And ask lots of questions.

OP- continue asking questions here please. For every person giving you crap, there’s also a bunch of us learning along with you here in real time. This is one of the neatest things about forums imo.

 

Sounds like your wire job was janky AF.

 

Title should be "I fucked my truck up".

 

Bite the bullet and take it to the dealer so they can verify that your voltage spike didn't kill anything critical.

 

Anybody know what fuses and or relay are associated with the tail lights in the engine bay fuse box? I'm not finding anything wrong but maybe I'm missing something

 

None...the fuse and relay for the Parking/Tail lights is in the driver's side junction box/Main Body ECU in the cab.

 

Ok how do I verify the relay?
