    IMG_4593.PNG.jpg Hello All,

    I was wondering if anyone would be able to help me with my brake lights. My 2015 Tacoma has a right brake light that is not working. The LED board in the center of the light does not activate when the brakes are applied.

    I have looked high and low for a replacement part I believed to be out there???? Obviously it may come to having to buy a new light assembly but I was hoping to not have to. Any help would be great...

    Bummer, in all these years i havent seen this issue come up.

    I assume u looked for loose wires already?

    Im not sure how our fuses work, 1 for brakes... or 1 for each side..... u look?

    Thanks for getting back to me. I checked the connection to the board but did not check the fuse.

    I'm guessing if the fuse was out the whole light would not work? But I will double check not just in case....

    If you are a 2015 I'd expect you to be under warranty. Take it to Toyota and have them figure it out.

    If it's just that one LED, it's a bad solder joint, most likely. I'd try the warranty route.
    I used to work at the factory where those tail lights are made.

    Aftermarket hitch wiring? Seen it before and it was where they connected to the brake wire.
