How does the OP not have far more rep for this?? Thank you!! This is certainly these types of an frustrating fault and I will likely be replacing mine now. Had it not been for this thread I might've compensated the dealership unneeded $$$ to receive it performed.  

If a resistor is opened, Verify it by having an ohmmeter for continuity from the facility in terminal (the one that burns) on the outputs. These resistors are pretty rugged hunting in design to me.  

I have discovered that replacing the plug will work miracles, I have also used a way in other programs in which I somewhat tin the male terminal with solder making it thicker and obtaining a tighter suit.

Remember to make sure you're pin is oriented the same as the aged connector was (make use of the outdated connector to be a reference in this article).

The assistance advisor mentioned they failed to advise website this until $60K miles, Until I'veAuffs about the headlights, and many others.

btw kbmcmahon in Individuals images it appears like the terminal connector cavity in issue is brown (burnt). I believe when the resistor is replaced 1 receives Fortunate for awhile for the reason that link is restored, not a foul resistor.

**Considering that nobody has set this alongside one another nonetheless. I've entry to TIS for a few days and i have compiled a summary of all of the Toyota Technological Assistance Bulletins to the third gen Tacoma. Wanted to place it in one thread.

Yep I just have to convert many of the PDF documents to photographs, upload them to imgur and then edit the initial article with inbound links to each. I am going to get all around to it.
