P1000m5 2021-Both Taillights Blown

[jmcraft]

Hey Everyone, my name is John and I’m a new life member. I recently purchased a new 2021 1000-5. It currently has a little over 400 miles on it. I installed the dual battery system and the Corbin Plug and Play Turn Signal kit. It all functioned quite well for a while and all of a sudden my taillights stop working. However, the brake lights work fine as do the turn signals, horn and flashers. I checked the taillight harness and power is there for all functions. I spoke at length with the manufacturer of the turn signal kit and I’m confident the problem is not the kit. Just wondering if anyone else has experienced a loss of taillights?

Welcome to the club.

Did you check for power at the light connector?
Tail lights would be the brown wire. With lights ON it should be hot.
Solid green is ground.
The 3rd wire, (Yellow stripe I think) is the brake.

Also, there is a number of reports of tail lights being bad, but you may be hard pressed to get it warrantied with a turn signal kit installed.

Thanks for the reply. Prior to posting the question, I checked the wire harness at the taillight and with the ignition on (without the motor running) I got 12.4 volts on the brown wire using the solid green wire for ground and the same for the brake lights using the green wire with the brown stripe as ground. With the motor running I got 14.2. So the taillight module is receiving power. After testing the voltage I kinda thought that the taillights might be bad. The thing that has me perplexed is that both sides went out at the same time. The new taillights a scheduled to arrive tomorrow and I think I will disconnect the turn signal kit and drive it for a while to see what happens.

Ya, same thing happened to the other people as well.
IDK. that is kind of of weird.

P1000 - Brand new but no tail lights

Hey first post here. Love the site. Purchase the high beam light bar and backup lights. Both work and look great. We bought the machine a few weeks ago and had OE roof, windshield and doors installed at the dealer. I noticed a few days after I got it home that I have no tail lights. Break lights...
