Anzo Tail Light Issues Please Help! Pt. 2

Firstly, thank you all for your interest and quick replies/help to my previous post. This Pt. 2 post serves as an update since there were no further replies to the original post.


Original Post:

So I recently purchased some Anzo tail lights for my 2003 Tacoma 3.4L 2wd.

Upon installation, I noticed a few things (Key turned to the ON position, hazards ON):
-Driver side works (sorta), and the reverse light comes on.
-Passenger side does not fully work. The brake light turns on, instead of normal running lights

When the engine is running (Lights are turned to the ON position, no hazards):
-ABS light is on
-Left turning signal is dimly lit (very strange), when pressing the brake pedal it lights up fully

Other info:
-Failed Taillight relay (replaced) after installation
-Replaced flasher relay just in case
-I looked everywhere for a short...none
-OBD'ed to look up the ABS light codes... nothing
-Checked ALL fuses, relays, etc... they are all good

Reason for new tail lights:
I noticed that my driver side's LED's were going out in my eBay-Cheapo aftermarket so I decided to replace them with (supposedly) great aftermarket tail lights.

I do plan to email the company to send out replacements, but if anyone has any similar issues/experiences please let me know just in case it's not the tail lights.



Here is the link to the previous post related to my issue:

In it is good/detailed information relating to my problem.

Update:

I fixed all previously stated issues stated in the original post, except I am encountering a new problem. I believe it’s due to the wiring.

I followed this video for instructions on how to fix my previous set of problems:

v=qe4JM9FTeG0&t=2s

So, to fix the initial set of issues I added the 6th pin to both lights and that fixed a lot of the problems.

The new issues:

-When the cruise control is on, I hit either blinker to change lanes and the cruise control turns off (as if I hit the brakes).
-If cruise control is NOT on (at around 30+mph), while either blinker is on, the engine rpm jumps by a couple hundred. Making the truck feel as if it's misfiring.

Also, when I put on hazards I can hear the relay(?) turn off/on and it's a lot louder than before. Maybe suggesting that there is a bigger electrical load on it?

My best guess is that the truck thinks I'm braking and is causing these issues.

Does anyone know why or how? I followed the wiring instructions of the video but still have problems.


Thank you for the time to look into this matter and help me!

 

I will try to get a video posted here to better describe the issues.

 

This part actually sounds like an issue with your trailer lights wiring, assuming you have one.
This thread seems like the same issue. https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads...he-blinker-cruise-control-turning-off.546988/

 

Awesome, I'll look into this. Thank you!
