Brake Override Malfunction

Welp tried installing new LED tail lights in the 3rd gen. 1 was already installed 2nd one had to be replaced OG. Everything was fine and when the second tail light came in. Truck won't start. Brake Override Malfunction came on. ACC works, front headlights(HID) works, LED dogs works. Won't start. Saw that the 7.5 was blown, prepared that but still won't start. HELP! Really don't want to take it to a dealership. I've tried putting the old tail light back. All other lights are working except rear driver side even with new fuse.

 

disconnect the battery for a few minutes

 

Are these the "wingjet" lights?

 

Did that

 

Yup and already emailed them about a full refund. I also thought it may be the new reverse lights cause they weren't put in until the second tail came in.

 

Look through the owner's manual?

 

Check all your fuses. Pretty sure you blew the brake light fuse I'll can't remember what circuit it's tied into. Let me see if I can look it up

 

Yup did that only shows a picture of the code and to see the dealership haha

 

I tried the tail fuse from under the dash. And it's only a 7.5

 

There will be another. Pull each one and find what one is blown

 

You may need to test them with an ohmmeter, you can't always tell by looking at them.

 

I'll try to find another blown fuse but I really hope I can get it to start

 

The truck won't start if you blow a brake light fuse?

 

Exactly! For whatever reason when the tail lights went in i tried starting the truck and it won't start. Then the brake malfunction code came on.

 

Is the truck in park?

 

Yup

 

Is this a new feature in the 3rd gen, or will this happen to my 2nd gen also?

 

Holy shit. Well it'll keep you from getting a ticket or rear ended. That is really stupid though, if something like that goes out you could be stuck somewhere. I'd be certain to carry some spare fuses.

 

It almost sounds like the short caused another problem other than a blown fuse!

 

I would get my multimeter out and check more then just the brake light fuse.
