electrical problem

Hello I have a 04 Tacoma 2.7 it blew a 50 amp fuse that sends power to the cab fuse box, replaced fuse and know the clutch cancel button don't turn on until you press the button the it turn on? Then today went to start my truck and my radio and clock had to be reprogrammed like the battery got disconnect...weird any ideas please help

 

any help would be great, checked all fuses, disconnected my battery all night, no trouble codes, this has me stumped, the swith still works just the light dont turn on untill its pressed

 

Well....ha man I wish I could help you more, I just got done with Toyota's T-Ten Electrical, I also drive an '04 Taco. I saw this message was pretty far down the thread, if you are still having problems with it then just respond and I'll get on TIS and pull the wiring diagram, but honestly I will be taking a shot in the dark without testing it out with the DMM or test light, but let me know and we'll figure it out

 

Yea still don't know what's wrong. My radio and clock haven't done anything weird since. On your 04 does your clutch cancel light light up when you turn the lights on or does it turn on when you press the button and then stay on

 

Start looking for pinched wires, arc marks and worn out insulation. Fuses don't go bad, they fail because something drew too much power.
Did you do any work on it recently?

 

The light on the clutch-cancel button does not come on w/ the headlights. It only comes on when you use it to start the truck. Sounds like yours is functioning normally.

 

thats what i hoped to hear about the clutch cancel light, yea about the fuse blowing that was my falt, always disconnect batt before doing any electrical work. 1 more question on a 2004 tacoma non trd does the number 25 slot STA 7.5 A in the cab fuse block have power all time, mine has no power all time

 

Hey man, sorry I was late on the response and yes deflep is right, your clutch-cancel light sounds like it is working right, the only reason I could see that the radio etc. would reset is if the power source was cut off, I saw that you wrote you disconnected your battery, I dont know if that was before or after (side note, every toyota will reset/no crank one time after you replace a battery, dont know why) but sounds like your good to go and no the only time your STA fuse should show power is while cranking, so dead or running it will show nothing, but just be careful with that test light unless it is a snap on or cpu or energy efficient light because your adding a load to the circuit and could do some damage (not in this case but other situations) overall you sound good to go now
