What have you done to your 1st gen Tundra today?

Shifty: are your wires reversed?

MP:

 

Okay I am thoroughly perplexed. I have 12v every where I should. I just remembered my license plate lights haven't worked in forever, so I'll replace those...could it be that simple?

I don't have the DRL fuse, so I think the license plate lights are tied into the trailer harness.

 

Here's an odd one, are the bulbs directional? Some brake light bulbs have a high input, bright, and a low input, running/ dim light side. I know it's really low end on the knowledge scale but I learned this lesson when I was 17 and got a ticket for my brake light not functioning

 

@VR6T thanks for the input.

Everything on the truck side is passing the test, it appears. The bulb that's giving me fits on the trailer is a basic Sylvania 1157. The passenger side bulb is a 2057 and works fine, almost the same exact bulb as the 1157. Tried it on the driver's side and it doesn't work either.

 

At this point I'd replace the terminal socket for the bulb. I know you said it tested good, but it's like the only thing that's not adding up.

 

Stupid question but is it the correct bulb for the socket?

 

So any of you guys/gals who replaced their 00-02 chrome bumpers know what support piece in the back of the bumper have the clip locations for the side splash guards?

I’m wondering if I can buy it new or if I need to scour salvage yards. Obviously mine rotted away in both locations on the passenger side.

Is it part #13? @$257…ouch.

 

Agreed. It is the common denominator.

Yessir.

There's an 04 and 01 at the junkyard. Might run over and see if they have anything worth salvaging.

 

#13 is the filler panel
Under the grille and headlights. Usually painted.

 

#13 sure looks a lot like this piece Jack.

 

1157 is 3cp for taillight and 32cp brake light. 2057 is 2cp taillight and 32cp brake light.

 

PS if replacing trailer light go LED

 

That makes sense. Now I have no idea what that support bracket is in my pic. It’s definitely not part of the chrome bumper or anything shown in the diagram.

 

Found a nice bed rug in good condition just needs a wash at the junk yard in sun valley. I’ll be here for another hour if anyone wants it

it’s on an access cab

got a new fog light switch also, taking this home if anyone needs one

 

That recess pannel hole in the last pic down below the fogs switch, if they have that cover plate I'll have it please and thank you

 

I want it @jerryallday, Please!

You should grab the fog light switch, it's worth a mint these days. Hook @VR6T up!

 

Can you circle it for me

 

It's easier just to grab the panel. Gotta remove the lower to pop it down/out I think.

 

Got you. Not sure how much it is guessing like $100 to $150, I’ll show you the receipt

 

I got the two fog light switches on this trip already

 

I'd be surprised if it was, but LMK. I'll probably be paying about the same in shipping but if you're saying it's in great shape ... it is what it is, I guess I'll pay it knowing it's the right one/size. I'm good for it.

 

Hell yeah that looks awesome. Can you get it off around the padlock w/o damaging it?

 

@jerryallday I assume you know, but those just velcro in, in case it's important to removal. The side skirts and bulkhead zip apart where they meet the floor.

 

Yeah I brought all the right tools, truck is clean

got it out

 

Im on my way to industrial metal supply in Sun Valley. Which junk yard you at? I’ll swing by

Don’t worry Shifty, Jerry is practically a neighbor. Not going for switch, tho I wouldn’t mind having it lol. This one is yours

 

Awesome! I'll PM to figure out the damage and shipping stuff. I'll try to make it as hands-off as possible.

 

What are you building now?

 

The custom roof rack

 

Man, after the f'n debacle I had to endure with T-Mobile today, this just makes my damn day!

(No worries @Voss, I didn't think you would, and if you did, I'd survive, but it'd suuuuck)
