I am wiring a 7 pin into my 2008 Toyota Tacoma for my new popup.
I installed all the wires and I have a brake control unit. I crawled under my steering wheel and exposed the small wires to the brake plug. I stripped the insulation off the blue wire and soldered on a wire to go to the brake controller. I forgot (idiot) to disconnect the battery. My elbow pushed on the brake and I accidentally shorted the wire to some metal and saw a spark. I blew the parking light breaker. Replaced that, but still lost my rear view camera on my rear view mirror. The lights on the instrument panel that show what gear I’m in and the sylinoid that let’s me take the truck out of park. That quit working so I had to use the little manual button to get the shifter to move.
$300 later a shop fixed the issues.
Back to square one. Is there an adapter I can buy for the brake switch so I can still do the job?
