Thanks! I hope this will help me figure out how to redo my SRL install on my ‘25 TH. The left light isn’t getting enough voltage when braking so I fouled up something. But backup works. I would also like to turn them on with an Aux switch. The last one I have currently (no pun intended) is the plug in the interior by the driver footwell. I’d like to power a Midland GMRS radio with it.

the left brake/taillight, or the SR-L? The red halo should be on with your taillights, not the brake lights (like they don’t get brighter when you brake). Just to clarify.

Yes, the SRL, I connected to the left taillight. I’ll take a look next time I’m with the truck.

That's interesting - you're using all of SPV's harnesses/parts? If so, it sounds like it might just simply be a connection issue. I actually faced this when swapping all of my parts over to my new truck. The left light wouldn't come on at all. Turns out, I just didn't plug the connector in all the way and I missed it. Once I fiddled with it, disconnected/re-connected, it came on like normal. So yeah, I'd just double-check all your connections next time you're with the truck - I'm sure it's as simple as that.

Sure will but I am a big dummy at that installation…it’s on my list to check fuses and revisit connections. It’s honked up

Yes. Those connectors are TIGHT! You REALLY have to PUSH them to get them to "Click" sometimes. Same when removing them.

This is the topic I was waiting for a wile. Great write up and great result. My needs are modest and only involves adding back-up lights. My 2026 SR has a very needy light backing up. I am interested in the connector plugged in the back of the stop lights. I didn't want to cut wires to get power. I wander if I can get only the T-bar connector.

I had a similar issue when I installed mine. One of the connections was not making good contact. Re checked and fixed. crimp was not on tight. used improper crimps and did not make good contact. Used correct crimps and great connection. No problems since.
