I have a 2000 and i am installing tail lights from a 2004. These have the turn signals in the brake light gear and the connector and wire colors are different than my 2000. I can not find the diagram in the RAVE manual. If anyone knows or has it please let me know thanks!
I like the 04 look of the lights and also when i bought the truck the rear bumper cover with the turn signal was damaged on one side. I removed the entire cover for now and both bumper lights and i ran turn signal wires up the frame and sliced into the 2000 reverse light wire so that moves my turn signal wire up the brake light assembly. It's really not super complex... I basically removing the reverse light from that area and mount some on new bumper at some point.
I ran the turn signal wires from below bumper area up to my tail lights. Basically i canceling my reverse light atm till i upgrade bumpers. I have diagram colors for my 2000, but i can not find any information regarding the 2004 tail lights and i have been searching. Show you what i mean... they are four wires all solid colors ( white, brown, blue and yellow). 2000 has four wires (one was a reverse light i removed and swapping my turn signal line in) These really are the same lights other than look and reverse and turn swapped. My four wires which i know what they are now... i just need to figure out exactly what the lines are on the 2004 and i am golden. I am pretty good at wiring however i need to know what these colors are. These pics are the 2004 light setup... strangely solid color wiring. I actually do just need a pinout or wire diagram for the 2004 lights and it's on.
The rave manuals are based on the 2000-2003 regarding the tail lights. Basically... ground, running light, turn and brake wires. Four on each one.
ALL 03-04 taillights eventually crack, the plastic is too thin and has molded in stresses.
yeah these have some hairline cracks. Anyways I did solve the wiring. I hooked the 04 to battery manually went through figured out the wire colors and matched to 00 manual colors.
2004 tail light wiring colors
