Help with Toyoto Trailer Light Converter
I have a 2005 Tacoma. When new I had U-Haul install a hitch receiver and wired using what they called a converter that they insisted was required for a Toyoto. This thing is about the size of a deck of cards. You appearently don't just wire in like a Ranger, etc and it does not come with a trailer pigtail. Well, in Nov my trailer lites went out, and after changing all bulbs and checking wiring noticed that the little green lites on the female (Truck side) plug were all out. Mecanick told me my 'converter' had failed. Did not talk to Toyoto. Back to U-Haul, $50 bucks later new converter box and lights back on. Made ONE trip --lights were working when I parked it. This week ready to go to Oconee -- No Lights again -- same thing. Anyone had this experience ? Is there a work-around ? Or maybe a less expensive, more permanent solution ? By the way, U-Haul told me they do not warrant any electrical items like this -- they'll be telling me again Monday for sure but I would really like to get lights working without converter. Any advice ? Thanks, Jim
