Taillights/License plate/parking lights NOT WORKING

Hello everyone!

so a few days ago I noticed my DRLs and taillights were off and I thought it was the fuse so I checked and sure it was I replaced it and worked again but then I added something to the oem hardness and went out again then I added a new fuse again and didn’t turn back on… anyone had this issue before… let me know thanks!

 

We need more info.

What did you add to the OE harness?
And how/what are you tapping into, to run all those extra lights on your truck?

 

I added the switch back turn signals from (unique style racing) to the OE hardness of the DRLs and that’s what made it trip. I took everything out and left it stock again but nothing turned back on and no fuses are blown and I also checked every single one too.

That link is for a RAV4?

I assume you did order the correct ones for the Tacoma?

 

Yeah I did order the ones for Tacoma’s

 

What fuse was it that blew?
I’d start by check to see if that fuse has power now.

 

It was TAIL 7.5 that blew up

 

Yes has power now but no sign of lights on.

 

Are sure the fuse has power?
I’m not asking if the fuse is good, I mean is there actually verifiable power to the fuse?

Have you checked it with a test light or Voltage Meter?

Power goes to tail, marker, and license plate from that fuse.

 

Yeah I checked it out with a test light and meter as well and everything came out fine. That’s why I said all fuse were checked and came back good. I honestly don’t know what’s going on at this point. Probably going to take a trip to the dealership which I don’t want to do );

 

Kinda weird how it went out before and after you tapped into the harness. Have you noticed any other electrical issues?

 

Those headlights are not OEM. I'd disconnect them for a test.

 

What do you hunt at night that requires all those lights??

 

scared of the dark probably. I totally dont have like 2 million lumens as well cough cough

 

The electrical system in these trucks are fussy about mods, especially if you don't disconnect the battery when doing them. With all those mods you are going to be out of pocket for any repairs if you end up at the dealership.

 

OP, you did have LED DRL before the Morimoto Headlights, correct?

 

I took it to the dealership and they couldn’t find the issue so I just took it back and i Figure I can do it myself but i tried everything and nothing.

 

With a meter, verify that you get voltage at connector 1F position#3 (green wire) when you select parking/tails on the steering light stalk switch.

 

I will try that thank you !

 

Did you ever resolve this? I am having the same issue.
