Brake running lights, Corner Lights, Reverse Lights, interior gauge illumination, and curtesy chime all stopped working… any clues?
As many of you know, I picked up my truck from an engine builder in California about a week and a half ago.
Immediately after picking it up, I noticed the backup lights did not work at all when putting the 5-speed manual transmission into reverse. I checked the reverse switch on the transmission and the connector area looks a little hacked together. It appears the OEM connector may have broken at some point and someone used cheap plug connectors instead. The wires are still connected to the switch though.
Then yesterday, roughly 14 days and 4,500 miles after picking the truck up, I went out to the truck in the morning and noticed several more electrical issues:
- Gauge cluster illumination does not work
- Corner/parking lights do not turn on
- Halos on my SRQ headlights do not turn on
- Headlight projectors still work when switched fully on
- Brake lights only illuminate when pressing the brake pedal
- Turn signals still work
- No warning chime when opening the door with the headlights left on
I replaced every fuse in the knee panel and also replaced the tail relay under the hood, but neither fixed the issue.
What else should I be checking?
