stevetso Posted May 4, 2008 Report Share Posted May 4, 2008 Hey guys, a quick question about trailer electricals, I was towing my boat with my friend's 4Runner which she bought just last week. Things went well until the signal lights went, and then the traction lights came on, then the ABS light came on and then the shifter was stuck. To make a long story short, we had to be towed. The next day Toyota came back to us and said that the trailer wires short circuited the switches and that it's not under warranty. I thought the fuses would SC first before the entire switch. Any one out there experienced similar issues? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigfish1965 Posted May 4, 2008 Report Share Posted May 4, 2008 Have the trailer checked out. If there is no short, go back to Toyota with that info. There should certainly be safety stops in place to prevent bad ground from frying modules. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irishfield Posted May 4, 2008 Report Share Posted May 4, 2008 Sure hope it wasn't a first date! ..and what Rick said. Check the trailer first and then go after Toyota if all works correctly. Mind you people just tap into the existing light wiring for trailer lights..and this doesn't work all the time anymore, with many needing isolators/converters. Maybe her vehicle was wired wrong?
