New to Forum and electrical issue

Hello,
I've been reading lots of threads on electrical troubleshooting but I have not been able to solve my issue:

Intermittently the dome lights will not work, Entune radio will shut off, passenger seatbelt and airbag lights turn on, TRAC light illuminates and power lock won't work with the remote...

Clock will reset to 1:00 when the vehicle is turned off and power locks work from the door switches.

I have gone through both fuse sections with a multimeter and they a all measures "0"

Any suggestions would be appreciated

Thanks

 

Are you out of warranty? 36 Month / 36K Miles ? If not let the dealership repair it under the warranty. If it is intermittent make a video of it when it happens and show it to the service writer.

If the warranty is out. Have you made any electrical modifications?

Check the battery under load or have it checked. A defective battery will cause strange issues as you stated above.

 

Hey JimmyH,

I will test the battery under load.

I have never had an issue starting the vehicle or any other electrical problems other than what I listed. I figured if it was the battery I would have all sorts of electrical problems.

Doesn't hurt to try though. No electrical modifications that I know of or can see.

I bought it used with a Lubrico warranty and they aren't interested in electrical issues. Very helpful...

I noticed something strange yesterday. When I used the remote locks to unlock. It would beep and light up once and then not the second time to unlock all the doors. And when I got in the truck dome lights wouldn't work and the clock would reset to 1:00. But it's not every time I lock or lock.


Thanks

All kinds of hits on google for clock resetting to 1:00

 

The shock doctors in Canada can help you in clearing your issues related to electrical troubleshooting at your place. I get mine all repaired by the same and trust me, they are worthy enough to be called for sorting all such issues and they don’t charge you more than expected and that is why there are people relying on them most of the time.

 

Didya check the "short" pin?

 

Excellent point about the Short Pin. Didn't even think of that. Some have had issues with this fitting loose and causing the same issues on the Tundra Forums...



Over there what they did to fix it was to bent the holder clips in the fuse panel to grip it tighter.

If nothing else I would bypass it with a jumper and see if it goes away. The only purpose of the short pin is to disconnect the battery during shipping.
