I left my car sitting during winter... Haven't started it for 4 months, no battery tender... Started as if I drove it the day before. Aftermarket taillights are the problem.

No reason to start you car if it is on a trickle charger for 9 months. In fact I would consider removing the battery and charge it outside the car if I was going to let it sit for this long. No need to start it often as this might do more harm than good. Heating up the oil and then allowing it to cool repeatedly while it is just sitting might induce more condensation in the engine and thus more water in the oil. I know this is a heavily debated subject on the forum but something to bear in mind.
You could also unplug the lights while the car is in storage as another alternative but hopefully the wiring harness on the way will be the solution. |

I have a problem with my 2018. Camaro ss 2 i bought morimoto. Tailights inspired by the 2019 camaro and. I shut car off both reverse lights work but after 20 secs you hit key fob unlock only passenger side comes on. Reverse lights drivers side flickers and goes out. Factory lights work like there suppost to morimoto acts like its my car i said. Then explain why. Then factory lights work correctly so i guess mines tje only one according to him with this problem i have the adapters. I dont know if the cold is causing it or what maybe someone. Can help me out ?

What exactly are you trying to figure out. From what I understand of what you wrote, the lights work. Just not when you use the fob to lock/unlock. If that’s correct it may just be a resistance problem. If the work fine when the car is on then I don’t see it as a huge problem and might be fixed with a resistor but I’m no expert.

I had posted in another recent thread about what needs to be done here. The LED/resistor combo may not be enough because there is a shared ground between reverse lights and taillights. There is a bias voltage applied when the vehicle is off. You may need a diode to block the return path of that bias voltage through your LED lights. This is a proposed solution I saw in another thread that sounds reasonable. Not sure if it was tested. Bottom line is you have to have a good grip on the electronics to install LED's. Not sure trusting an aftermarket supplier to send you a harness is enough. |

YOU NEED TO HOOK UP BOTH CABLES AS EACH LINE IS SETUP AS A SEPERATE DRAW..

Sounds like Maddtazz is saying you need a special harness for each side. |
