TCU Little white box

Your tail lights don't work either. Get this fixed.

Like he said ^ TCU. Also check your headlight switch if that doesn't help.

[GroundPerformance]

If your outside lights are affected then its most likely the switch if only the cluster TCU is typically the culprit. I have one if you need it. LMK!

If it's not a fuse, then what these guys said (if it's just your cluster lights). Same thing happened to me, had no idea what it was, asked and turns out it was that little white box under the driver's kickpanel. You'll want to get a used one bc they are $300+ (no typo) new.

Hey I was just searching cause I'm having the same issues. Question: to fix this TCU is it the part that comes off the harness or the other side?

i have a tcu box if you need one. $25 shipped. lmk

I'm having the same problem where my cluster is out and my tails lights are out and it turns out it was a 15 amp fuse in the driver side kick panel. As soon as I replaced it i drove around and the same stuff went out again. the fuse burnt out . . . any ideas where the short might be? i have no idea why this would happen . . ..

i know what you mean, had the same problem after some touge runs. happened to be i pinched my fog light wire by the battery tray. kept shorting out. take a look in your engine bay for any exposed wires connected to the lighting system.

Thx for the help dude. I just checked. I'm running silvia Bricks and am using the flip up button as the headlight switch. It works fine so I don't think that would be the case. If you know wiring and want to help me out, that would be awesome though haha.

Question: Does anyone know exactly what harness/wires go through the "tail lamp" circuit because that fuse is the one that keeps burning out for me. My tail lights and gauge cluster illumination don't work.

got mine fixed it was a short..

[Mitsubayati]

^^ Where was it? How did it happen do you think?

[projekt_s13]

Nick i suggest you look at your wheel well wiring, i know you moved it up but it cant hurt to check it out.

[Taylor008]

Also common if you have your stereo wired up wrong.

[drift213]

my + wire on foglights had the wire a lil stripped and touched ground

I checked it's all still tucked and is as untouched as an asian driver's turn signal. :rolleyes:

I checked my trunk wiring and i saw one wire showing metal. hopefull i found the problem.

I had the same problem in my car. Maybe this could help you out.
