Electrical Issue? Installed Interior LEDs - Now NOTHING Works!

lol, ok I will try that out after work today.

just would prefer not to drop $150 on a new battery if it is testing fine?

costco battery about $85... works good for me..

I posted on here before auto zone battery 2015 family member 2005 T4R battery died in shopping lot this December 2017..bad batch ?

vehicle started good cold .. no start when came out after about 15 min .
 
Update

Replaced battery. Truck starts fine now.

New issue-
When driver's side door opens, courtesy lights do not come on. Headlights are also taking at least 15 minutes to turn off. Possibly longer. Not leaving the keys in, locking and walking away like always.

Pulling these LED bulbs out this weekend. Hopefully that will return things to normal.

If you press the lock button twice on the fob, do your headlights NOT automatically turn off?
 
man. just bought these LEDs 13 minutes ago. :cry2: about to cancel tf out of that order immediately

sorry to hear about your misfortunes, OP!

does anyone else have experience with PrecisionLED? Is this a common problem?

Put that exact same set in mine last week. No issues and no blown fuses during install. Turning off the lights, disconnecting them completely or just pulling neg batt cable will help prevent that.

A concern would be this particular kit is polarity specific. There is no way to tell if you have the bulb in correctly or not. So if you install all of them without testing, you could possibly have to go back and switch.

Short update on my truck-
Things seem like they are back to normal. The only issue now is my courtesy lights in the driver's side front and rear door do not come on. I am going to pry them off and play with them in the next few days to see if I can get it to work.

Their Premium Kit is not polarity specific so I guess it depends on what kit you get.

prior to your purchasing the 2011 4runner did you run a Carfax on the Vin to see if it was in an accident or a salvaged vehicle.?
Sometimes electrical issues will pop up that could not be seen during a repair job. I have had issues on one of my own vehicles after the repair was done that didn't show up until it rained.

Yes, was a single owner with no accidents or major work done of any kind.

if you open the driver's door does it show on the dash that its open?

The door pin switch is usually the culprit. The headlights dont turn off if it doesnt sense the driver door open and close and the car lock.

Glad to hear your update. I bet the LEDs in those spots are just turned around. A quick reinstall should fix your problem.

I may be in the minority here, but I like LEDs that don't have additional components to account for polarity or CAN-bus; just seems like more to go wrong and/or make them less efficient. I find it's a minimal inconvenience to just test each bulb as I go along and flip them if necessary.
