    2022 Tacoma SR5. Passenger brake light is not lighting up, driver side is working. The bulb is good, and turns on when lights are on. Think I may have loosened the brake light wire on the tail light harness when installing led bed lights, because they haven't been working since. Any tips on how to fix the wire or other issues there may be with the brake light connection? Could this be a fuse issue?

    P.S. also tried looking for a replacement OEM 3rd gen tail light harness but only could find the 2nd gen harness (part #8155504160). Anyone see these available somewhere?

    Show us what you did.
    The Stop bulb has 2 filaments, one for TAIL (Parking) the other for STOP.
    The stop fuse and wires to the rear send power to both, so not a fuse issue.

    It's available at the stealership, it's a very expensive and long harness. From the engine bay fuse box to the rear, not a pigtail like the 2nd Gens.

    switch bulbs with the other side to ensure that the bulb is fine. Multi meter next to see what power is going where.
