help please.. shorted out truck

hello i am asking for help this is my first post.. i follow all the mods and threads on here just never post. any way i need some help. i have a 07 tacoma 4x4 i was trying to disable my abs vsc and trac. i did what the post said bout taking the blue and yellow stripped wire from the 4x4 module behind the dash and grounding that out. i did so and when i did it sparked and now i have no a/c nor fan my fog lights dont work nor all my windows. i checked all fuses they were good but not recieving any power to them. i put it back the way it was and now its beeping and all the abs trac and brake light is on... does any one know how i could fix this. thanks guys

 

there's got to be a fuse out somewhere..i would double check

 

i checked every single one in both locations all are good even with the fuse out the window and ignitions are not getting power. i dont know what else to do or how a little short in the 4x4 module would affect all the other things

 

Did you try turning it off and then on again?
I'm only half joking. Try disconnecting the battery for 15-20 min and then reconnect.
It can't hurt.

 

i tried that too, left it disconnected over night. even tried to disable the system again from under the hood in the same harness. im kinda stumped dont know why or what happened. and it so hot to keep windows up with no ac.

 

but for some reason it wont disable so dont know

 

im not trying to scare you but i had that same problem before and the stealership told me my anti skid control was shorted out it ended up costing me 1700.00 bucks to fix ive heard of other people having the same exact problem and it was just a blown relay

 

wow.. thats alot. did u have he window and ac not working as well as all the lights. and whoe did urs happen. do u know where this relay is so i can check it. thanks

 

i am looking now when i had my problems it was the a/c windows all my guages quit working and all kinds of lights came on

 

J/B 50amp and IG1 no.2.... i hope for ur walets sack that i have helped u because if its not these two then chances are its gunna be expensive

 

just checked those two and the fuses are good checked them on my meter but getting no power to them. should i just take it to dealer. i just do all my work and this has me lost so i dont know what else to do... thanks alot for ur help

 

i took mine to the dealer... i have always done all of the work on my Tacoma but i was lost when this happened to me.
this is what they said was wrong with mine.

 

what is that called and what does it have to do with the 4x4 and windows and ac abs and trac control. i hope its some thing simple i may just run it in to mar. is that some kind of ecu

 

its the abs anti skid control module...

 

use your meter and work backwards from the fuse block(s) until you find the break or last place that you have 12v, then you will know where the short is and maybe save some coin. Hope you figure it out. Troubleshoot it as detailed as you can before giving it up to the dealer.

 

Ok I will try that now thanks walker

 

i know this sounds dumb cuz i also have my journey man electrical licence but after two days of testin it was the jb 50 and ignition 2 fuses blown. i dont see how cuz i checked every one visual with a meter and a test light. dont know how i missed it but u guys saved me a 1700 dolla abs box. so thanks for all ur fast and helpful responses.

 

Kudos to you for figuring it out!
