Hello everyone! I really need some help with this.
I recently went to hook up an aftermarket LED strip for the bottom of my tailgate as a brake,reverse,turn signal light and it caused my driver side running lights to stop working. Bulbs are all fine, and all the fuses seem to be fine as well (I'm about to just replace every single fuse in there). The same bulbs work for the brake, turn signals, unlock/lock flashing, basically anything else other than the running lights.
Do you have any clue what this could be? I've read it could be a faulty TIPM but I literally just replaced my TIPM cause my shut off relay kept coming loose causing my truck to shut down while driving. I guess that doesn't matter a whole lot and it very well could be.
But since it happened in reaction to something I did it makes me think the TIPM isn't faulty and it cause a short or something to happen. I do have my old TIPM still which completely works minus that one relay coming looseoccasionally so I could switch it out to test it.
Here in a little bit I'm going to start checking wires/connections with a multi-meter.
Thank you for any help at all!
