    My raptor lights have been in for over 3 months. Check engine light came on yesterday. Dealership said was the add-a-circuit fuse tap. Guessing you have had NO issues with yours in the year since installed?

    • @WesleyAllenNC
      @WesleyAllenNC  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Mine are still in, the only issue I’ve had was also the add a fuse being in a fuse slot that housed the fuel injectors or something like that. I had taken my truck into a shop (not Toyota) for an alignment and they had issues getting it started for the test drive. The dash basically said to take the vehicle to the nearest dealership. We looked under the goo and found the add a fuse was a tad loose. He suggested using a different fuse slot, something that wasn’t as important as the injectors, and it was fixed just like that.

      But just be careful to make sure it’s properly seated because I think it’s for your injectors. I had an issue with the truck not wanted to start once and the loose wiring from the add a fuse was the culprit

Took them out and went to a different dealer no problem. I had an issue with my DRL's not coming on in auto and I just made sure to take mine out before my service appt to avoid any issues like she had.
