    Awesome. A four-page thread about a blown dome light fuse. :rasta:


    I love TW. This would have turned into a flame-fest on some sites.

    ah I'm a little late on this one i did the exact same thing with the exact same problems with the clock. I thought it was my bed and puddle lights creating just enough potential difference to make the clock run with the head lights on, guess its just a tacoma thing.. oh yeah it turned out to be a fuse too.

    HAHAH!!! I know 4 pages for a blown fuse!!! Hey don't sweat it. I blew mine a couple of weeks ago when I was messing with my LED dome light. Remember, certain LED's only work with 1 palarity so if you have it backwards, you will blow your fuse. That's what I did, but I quickly knew it was the fuse, 7.5 to be exact.:D

    When shit like this happens, first you gotta take a deep breath and calm down.
    Getting into a frenzied panic isn't gonna help anyone. I was getting stressed reading the posts man.lol

    I'm really glad you the nerve to check it out and find it after all the great advice and help everyone on TW was giving you.

    Doesn't it feel great to have fixed it yourself. You did good man.

    I'm not sure how the dealer woulda handled this but they really could have raked you over the coals if they wanted to be assholes about it.
