I went home and reattached all the wiring, blew the fuse again and abs light is back. @ guybo what made you think that was the problem originally? Is this a common issue among these lights ? Are the lights toast or can I fix the wiring somehow ? Or better yet Should I simply return them under warranty for a new pair ? I Put them on Christmas time last year & Everything functions properly except the left side Valenti brake strip ( this is what is causing the fuse to pop every time I've determined) any insight would be appreciated. I saw somewhere on YouTube that if you re-wire the inside of the 3rd brake light to make the triangle solid instead of flashing when pressing the brake that helped a few people that were experiencing similar issues. What do you guys think about this ? Any electrical gurus in here that can lend me a hand |
It really isn't the Toyota techs responsibility to diagnose the issue with the aftermarket lights so I don't know what more you expected from them.
If narrowed down to the left brake strip you either have developed a dead short someplace or the ballast for those ones is bad. I doubt rewiring the triangle is going to help anything in the left brake strip.
If you still have the stock lights then put them back on and get ahold of the vender or Valenti to see what they have to say.
