LED bed lights

I’ve owned my truck just over 3 years now and seems that both led lights in my bed don’t work. Any help

 

Are they the Toyota installed ones or aftermarket? Any photos of them? Could just be a loose cable somewhere.

 

They are the ones installed by Toyota

 

I'm not sure how they wire those ones up. If they run through a separate fuse you could have a blown fuse under the hood. How do they operate normally? Do they come on with a button or when you open the tailgate?

 

They come on by door opening and alarm unlock. I think it’s a splits off from the tail lights.

 

I think so too. Can you get under the rear where the lights are attached to the bed and see if you can follow the wires to the tail lights and see if you have a loose connection or cut wire ?

 

Here's the factory install instructions. Should help you find the wires

Welcome to the forum..

Factory bed lights should be tied into the cargo light circuit..
If your cargo light switch is set on 'door' then it will come on with the unlock or door open.
If your cargo light switch is set to 'on' the bed lights should come on no matter what, but will time out after a few minutes.
If your cargo light switch is set to off, they won't come on no matter what.

Is your cargo light working properly?

Look at @TucsonTundra1794 instructions.
I used those very instructions to install my OEM bed lights in my 2014 SR5.

It may just be a bad connection in the kick panel that taps the bed lights into the cargo light circuit.
The wires are very small and a bad connection in a t-tap or posi-tap connector is probable.

I had this issue last week with my Amp steps.
They've worked flawlessly for 4 years, but out of the blue developed a bad connection in the driver's door.
They worked with every door except the driver's door.
Dug out my old AMP install instructions, found the right wire in the kick panel, replaced the t-tap with a posi-tap connector, and that fixed it...


Good luck..1LL

 

Thank you both for helping me. I’ll let you know what I find.

 

I would love to add those. Any idea of what the cost of dealer install would be for everything?

 

Lights are fairly cheap but you'd have to check with your local dealer to get install price.

 

They run like $80 each.

Really not that hard to install yourself.
I installed mine in my 2014 DC.
Put one in the front since I have a swing case..
Cargo lights are now LED and match the bed light temp color.

 

I have the same issue
