Ive had people look at it but they have no idea whats causing it, any ideas?
HELP!
Give the wiring harness for the trailer hitch a good look. I found several potential sites of the problem because the harness was spliced into the truck wiring with the quick splice clips. So I just took the whole thing out and reinstalled it with the heat-shrink tubing and now everything works perfectly! Good luck!
Since new, the radio has been replaced, the rear spring and shocks were replaced, a recall on the floor mats, and a TSP on the steering clock spring. Oh well that about like the history of the 2001 Dakota that I sold to get my Tacoma. At least I got 20.75 mpg on my last fill-up.
More recently, I've noticed that sometimes the dashboard lights remain on when the headlights go out. Each time this happens, I simply turn them off and then turn them back on and the lights will come on again. There's definitely a short somewhere, but I have no idea where to start looking or who I could take it to to have it looked at without costing me an arm and a leg.
I did see a thread regarding looking at the trailer harness hookup near the rear license plate. The reason I'm thinking of starting there first as I have noticed that occasionally my right blinker light will go solid when I apply my breaks. This doesn't happen 100% of the time, however, which further solidifies in my mind that there's a short somewhere. Anyone else encountered this problem and have a fix?
I have a 2003 Toyota Tacoma and the dashboard lights are not working great. The RPM gauge has not been lighting up for some time, but I can still get the Speedometer to light up.
Is there any easy fixes for this? I was wondering if the light went out, or if the electrical wires are corroding. I'm not sure though, because it also looks like some light is coming through.
I was wondering if there may be an easy fix.
Thanks!
