Running lights

Hey guys,

I'm in need of some quick advise. I just installed a new Hopkins trailer light converter to my Tacom PU now the runnig lights on both the truck and trailer wont work. The brakes and blinkers do! I checked all bulbs, re-did the ground three times and checked my fuses. Any ideas. I'm supposed to be heading out @ 4am. I may have to postpone until 1st light though. Any help greatly appreciated.

Steve

Is this one of the kits where you remove the plug off your left tail light, and the harness is inserted between the feed and the light plug.
That's what I've got and it works great.
Sounds like the hot lead to your lights is not connected properly. Use a VOM to trace where you've got 12vdc and where you lose it.
