    I just installed the MESO Puddle Pods with the switch and I’m having a bit of an issue if anyone could help me out. Passenger side works as it should with the switch to “on” and “auto”. But, the driver’s side only works when the switch is on “auto” and turns off when I switch it to “on”. Also, the V5 ultimate tuen signal on the driver’s side is not working now but the passenger side does. The V5s were working before install and I didn’t touch the V5s during installation. Does anyone have an idea as to why this happens? I’m not very knowledgable on wiring but I followed the video as it’s pretty straight forward. Think it might be a fuse? Thanks in advance.

    Check that you didn't pinch/severed the cables.

    Yes, I checked that. Thanks for the reply.

    the switch lights up blue on all options. Not sure what it is.

    Realized this morning that the BSM, power window and lock are all not working on the driver’s side.

    Did you splice into anything? Or is it full plug and play? I can’t remember how mine is, but I’m pretty sure I did not splice into factory wiring. I have both v5, and puddles with a switch. I do get a dome light flicker when using the lumbar support.

    Did you leave anything unplugged in the driver kick panel. Or maybe didn't get the connectors reseated all the way.

    I feel stupid….

    I thought that I plugged everything back in but apparently I left 3 wiring bundles in the kick panel unplugged.

    Thank you all for responding and helping out. I left it for a couple days and just now check the wires in the kick panel and sure enough 3 of the wire bundles were left unplugged so I plugged them back in and it all works.

    On a related note I got a call from my local Toyota dealership about an alert they received due to my BSM being out. Apparently one of the wiring bundles I left unplugged powers the BSM and Toyota got an alert about it.
