    Center Mount (3rd) brake light requires spoiler removal?

    I ended up buying a replacement LED 3rd light from a company in San Louis Obispo, CA (cant remember their name) for like $39. Basically I unscrewed the bad light, pulled as much wire as I could, and cut the wire close to where it joins the bad light. Then I simply stripped the wires on the old...

    2005 SR5 - VSC, engine, and trac control lights on

    So after a week and a half and 100 miles the lights finally turned off! I recently filled my tank again and ensured I tightened the cap 5 clicks this time. Apparently that did the trick! Will post if I have any other trouble but the aftermarket gas cap works for now. Thanks to everyone for...

    2005 SR5 - VSC, engine, and trac control lights on

    Just an update. It's been over a week and I've put 75 miles on the truck without the lights clearing. I'm going to buy an OEM gas cap and see if that fixes the problem. Other than that, I'll have to see if other measures are warranted. I'll keep you guys posted.

    2005 SR5 - VSC, engine, and trac control lights on

    Alright y'all. I'm posting a pic of the OBD II code read out (P0456). It's a small evaporative system leak. I bought an aftermarket gas cap as mine was loose and figured this may be a solution. I've driven approximately 5 miles and the lights are still on. Any ideas? Should I drive longer, get...

    2005 SR5 - VSC, engine, and trac control lights on

    I've heard this is a common fix. Original gas cap so it might be the cause. I'll give it a shot, thanks! If it isn't, at least it's not very expensive. I still might take it to Auto Zone to have it read but the Auto Zone around here is 45 minutes away with traffic. O'Reilley is a 5 minute drive.

    2005 SR5 - VSC, engine, and trac control lights on

    That was my next step but figured I'd ask here first. Another thing. when I accelerate hard I can smell fuel or oil burning. My MPG has gone from 16/19 to 12/15 even driving conservatively but I attributed this to the new tires. Is it possible it could be a bad O2 sensor?

    2005 SR5 - VSC, engine, and trac control lights on

    Hey everyone, I have a 2005 SR5 that developed a recent problem. My engine, VSC, and Traction control lights are coming on and staying on. I tightened the gas cap but that didn't do anything. I then unhooked the battery and it cleared the lights for a couple of weeks but then their back! Only...

    Good Replacement for Revos

    Here in California the snowflake/mountain symbol means quite a bit. Up in the Sierra mountains the California Highway Patrol will set up stops when chain control is in effect (usually after a recent snow). R1 control means you either need chains on your tires or 4wd drive vehicle to continue...

    Good Replacement for Revos

    I pulled the trigger and ordered a set of the Falken Wildpeak A/T3W the other day. They should arrive tomorrow and I'll have them installed next week. I'll post back here with how they perform later on. For reference, I have a 2005 SR5 4WD running Nitto Terras 275/55R/20. Ordered the same size...

    Good Replacement for Revos

    I've heard and read great things about the Falken AT/3 Wikdpeaks. It seems like they are fantastic in snow and rain plus give good on road and off road performance. Anyone hear anything negative?

    Good Replacement for Revos

    I'm in a similar boat as you! I need to replace my Nitto Teras since they're 7+ years old and the tread is down. Do any of the tires your looking at have the "snowflake/mountain" symbol on them? I'm trying to avoid chain control in the Sierras. Anyways, let us know what you end up going with...

    Center Mount (3rd) brake light requires spoiler removal?

    Here's the caveat. I have a 2005 SR5 with an aftermarket spoiler & 3rd brake light. Dealership couldn't replace it. However, it looks EXACTLY like the one Tokylon posted. 4 Phillips head screws holding it in place and everything. I'm hoping the spoiler attaches like an OEM spoiler and can...

    Center Mount (3rd) brake light requires spoiler removal?

    Anyone out there have this problem? It's quite annoying there isn't a harness connection for an easy swap.

    Center Mount (3rd) brake light requires spoiler removal?

    I have that exact same light assembly. Did you physically open the LED unit and replace or simply cut the wire of the dead unit and splice in a new one (what I'm thinking of doing). Thanks!
