Buddyclub Tail Lamp Problem! - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Taaato · 10-05-2015, 09:37 AM

Hey guys, first time posting and would appreciate any suggestions on this matter. I recently installed Buddyclub tail lights on my 86 along with the relay that came with it. What followed was the failure of my drls/low beams/high beams/indicators. Dash as well as my tails automatically light up when I start the car and all that's visible on the dash is that the high beams and fog lights are on despite the fact that I don't have either of them on. My guess is it has to do with the relay but I'm not quite sure. Hope you guys can help, thanks!

Try to switch back to stock flasher relay, if all is well ask for a new one (warrenty) or order the tapturn flasher relay.

Your BCM is kill. That's going to be an expensive fix at the dealership.

I think your friend messaged me on facebook. To me it sounds like one of your fuses is blown. For what reason Im not sure.

I would switch back to stock relay and see if that fixes anything.
If not then check the fuses in the fuse box under the steering wheel/pedal area. Check the back of the cover for the main ones like "tail, fog, DRL etc" pull them out and see if connection is broken. Replace with a suitable new fuse and if it blown again then something is shorting. Check wires on the tail light or any wiring you think may have been changed.
