MESO Total Tail Light Kit

Stage 3 uses as-of-yet detected neutrinos to reflect coronal mass ejections straight Into the retina of reward driver's, providing a consistent awareness to your intentions. Stay tuned for more.

 

I’m not going to be using the resistors any longer on this stage 1 kit so what are you all doing to cap off the resistor plug to protect it from the elements. I have the stage 1 kit and Some recommended to use a vacuum cap but that would appear to only work for the stage 2 kit. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

 

At the moment i have it temporarily sealed with electrical tape.

 

I was going to do that but was concerned it still will not keep out the moisture, sucks!

 

use some dielectric grease first, that will keep the moisture out.

 

BernzOmatic with the soldering tip, work great!

 

That’s a good idea, thanks

 

I can’t tell from the 1st post- what is the plug for the resistors look like on stage 1?

 

Tyco 150, from the looks of it.

 

You watched star trek as a kid didnt you ?

 

That looks to be correct.

 

Working on stage 1’s, will be ready next week

That’s a first version pic, the new ones have a standard TYCO 2 pin(resistor) and TYCO 3 pin(turn/reverse/ground)

 

Which side do they need? Male (Pictured) or Female (has the latch)?

 

Does using the resistors when it's not necessary, affect the lights? If it doesn't affect the light, why not just use the resistor anyway to plug the connector, instead of using something else to plug it?

 

Aw just my luck, I will be in Japan until the 2nd...

 

It really depends on each truck's set-up. Yours may not hyper flash with the resistor or without, so you think it does not matter. Makes sense.

Unfortunately, as has been discussed at length in several threads, it may not be correct.

Our blinkers are expecting x resistance, and it seems act differently from truck to truck (maybe this is due to ECU model?).

Too much = problems
Too little = problems​

Problems can range from not working at all, blown fuses, hyper flashing, and one flash then nothing.

Now if you add to that the fact that the math seems to change if your lights, not just blinkers, are in different statuses or you change a bulb in a different location that shares the circuit. There have been a number of users, just in this thread, that have reported odd behavior.

What I mean by different light status is:
DTRL on or off
Meso mirror blinkers
Some other mirror blinker mod
Lights set to "AUTO"
Low beams on or off
High beams on or off
Hazards on or off
Reverse lights on or off
Did any bulbs on the circuit change? Front, mirrors, brand, wattage, etc​

As you can see, there are several things to consider, however if you are happy with the performance and it seems they work splendidly without added resistance.... it will not cause harm to your Taco to have them or not.

 

@mesojdm will it be a mid day drop or a late evening drop. (8:00 EST)
