    Is there a source any of yall know for these pig tails? I have more issues than just this pig tail
    but i do need one of these pig tails any way, so im starting with the pig tail and will go from
    there. I found a STOP fuse under the hood is this the brake light fuse and is there another
    fuse somewhere else? Hopefully there is some source for elctrical stuff like this and maybe
    even harnesses for our Tacos.
    Thanks
    Ron

    Let’s start with the Fuse list, see attached. Suggest you and others download it to your phone and computer.

    @Puppypunter may have something you can use for a pigtail.

    Turn signals are controlled by the Combination Meter (Instrument Cluster), powered by the HAZ Fuse (15A) in the interior fuse box.

    My turn signals work just fine. Just my brake lights don’t work, I’m not good at auto electrical troubleshooting. I’m a little concerned that it may be in my harness. Here a little info on my situation…. I have had an LED light bar just below my tailgate for a couple of years and all has been great. I have a factory towing package and the light bar has a harness that plugs between the towing receptacle and the factory connector and the brake lights on the light bar work great. So I assume this tells me fuses are good under the hood if there is not another fuse some where. I do realize I could splice the light bar wires and connect them to the brake light wire in the tail lights, and I will do this as a last resort. Thanks for any help

    Well if you have an automatic and can shift it out of park then your STOP Fuse and Stop Lamp Switch have to be good so it would have to be a wiring/connector/bulb issue.

    Is the trailer plug stop circuit a separate circuit from the taillights? @caribe makaira would definitely know that. @ronmat do you have a meter or test light? I am wondering if there is even 12V getting back to the lights. Have you checked this fuse?

    See, he’s so good he doesn’t even go for the most overly complex way of testing things either! :rofl:
