Got pulled over for no taillights

Anyone have a wiring diagram for a 2016 DCSB TRD OR? Specifically the tail light circuit. I was pulled over tonight for no tail lights. Brake lights, backup, and flashers all work. Dashboard is illuminated. I'll start checking fuses and chasing shorts tomorrow. I'm pretty good with electrical troubleshooting but any suggestions or help is greatly appreciated.

 

Huh?

 

JC.

 

I haven't checked bulbs. I wouldn't think they both went out at the same time either. I did pressure wash the truck today. Maybe I got something wet, but it should have dried out after 4 hours of freeway driving.

 

Thank you so very much! It shouldn't be rocket surgery sorting this out.

 

Check the fuse.

 

Probably the fuse, but probably not because I’ve heard from some people that the fuse for the taillights will cause your truck to brick itself and not drive if it was blown

 

Looking at that circuit, the only fuse I see is the one feeding everything. Looking at my 2018, it appears the tail light bulbs are used for the turn signal as well. Did you say your turn signals work?

Edit: If the turn signals light up, try toggling C11, combination switch which I am guessing is your light control pod on left side of steering wheel. If no change, try power cycling your ECU by disconnecting the negative battery terminal for a few.

If turn signals don't light, I would look at the bulbs.

 

Better to get pulled over than plowed into..
Let us know what it was, if you would.

 

I saw a Tacoma with no lights getting pulled over on LivePD last week

 

First, what electrical mods have you done?

 

Where do u get your schematics? Are u subscribed to something?

 

My guess is fuse. I had a bulb go bad and kept popping my running light fuse. It was a 7.5 under the dash. I think I went through 5-10 fuses before I found the faulty bulb.

 

You are "SEEING" more than is presented. The TURN & STOP & TAIL signals are all separate circuits.
I only highlighted the TAIL/PARKING circuit.
The circuits share the connector (EB1) to feed the lamps...

 

TIS, then modified in MSPaint...

 

If you have a trailer connector, check that for corrosion. They can do weird things.

 

Nice. Thanks again for all u do
