Automatic Transmission locked in park

Jim, glad you know what blew; hope you find what caused it.

Ding, Roman Numerals -- classy, thinking we Robs should reformat.

 

I went from one end to the other could find nothing ..Took it in to a 30 year pal (ford tech) .. The brake light switch had 12 v going in & 8-9 v coming out... He got me a new switch from toyo dealer right up the road & put it in .Not its 12v in & 12v out.. Got it at his cost (switch & new plugs) for 41 beans.,,,Now the taco is doing the ..Thanks for your help everyone.. Jim

 

Sounds like your trucks doing the mods from now on.

 

Good deal Jim.

 

So I shot a new 10a. ig1 fuse last week.. Took it to Toyota tech31 (Jason).He found a short in the after market trailer/tail light converter. It got water inside & shorted out. Snow White is back to her old self ..

 

Boy that's a big surprise with the aftermarket POS converters everyone puts in.
You should know better.
Jason does good work. Surprised he let you in the shop.

 

ASE 4 of them did not catch it. So how was I to know

 

Hehehehehe.
A different set of eyes is all it needs sometimes...
The bad news is toyota has gone to this POS setup in the 13 and up.
Shoving a converter box into the tail lamp ass.
The only saving grace is its plug in so no splicing or tapping the harness.
More downward spiral..

 

Sure, that works. Hehehehehe

 

Looking back that thing should have been in ?? It was 6 years old. Ive seen this same thing along time ago.. Dad in law got A new Chev P/U in 1985 loaded but did not have the tow package. First thing he did was U haul hitch. The thing was about a year old when he got a fix it ticket for the rear lights. I looked at it for him & the fuse was blown. new fuse fixed it. A few days later a real ticked for the brake lights..I put in a fuse & we took it to the dealer. They found a bad almost new (6 Mo old) trailer converter box..They put in a high $ one & it was still working good when he traded the thing in 10 years later.. I should have cut the thing off snow white just to see it that was it.
