JuicyJDM Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 Hey all! I just installed a set of Valenti Full LED tail lights on my wagon (don't know if this is the reason). Had to remove 2 blue boxes (resistors) that were wired in behind the USDM stock tail lights. Thinking they were use previously because an LED bulb in the OEM housing or something to that effect. I noticed a day after the install (new tail lights work fine) that the front passenger and both rear passenger doors do not lock or unlock from the key fob nor from the front passenger and driver door lock controls. The driver door and the rear hatch lock and unlock however. Talking to a friend, could be door lock actuators or switches? But it's strange to me that 3 out of 5 locks do not work rather than all of them not working. Any suggestions or help is greatly appreciated.

I3eXa Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 have you tried splicing those blue boxes back it to see if it fixes the problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JuicyJDM Posted March 11, 2016 Author Share Posted March 11, 2016 have you tried splicing those blue boxes back it to see if it fixes the problem? No not yet. I removed them for fear of it somehow causing the LED tails to fail...doh! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I3eXa Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 Well it sounds like they were stock and obviously needed Sent from somewhere in Potatoland Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think they were OEM stock. I think they were wired in by the previous owner (maybe to stop hyperflash from LED bulb)? From what I've researched all the pics I've seen during a tail light install, none of the LGTs wagon/sedan have them. I'm positive they were after market. Also, the way they were wired in did not look like a factory wire job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I3eXa Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 Right but maybe the PO wired those in on some install for whatever reason and now are necessary because he hacked up the original witing Sent from somewhere in Potatoland Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
