fuse question

Does anyone know if the climate control lights and 2 aux outlets are connected to the same fuse? If so what fuse is it? my lights on the a/c heat controls dont work neither do my two extra outlets under the ashtray...? I'm thinking its a fuse that blew, however my cigarette lighter outlet next right next to the ashtray works fine? Any ideas? its on my 99 v6 tacoma automatic
thankyou

 

I think there are 2 different fuses for both; one for the lighter next to the ashtray and one for the 2 aux. ones. There's a fuse box on the driver's side above the left knee.

 

Thanks -I know where the fuse box is located, i just dont know which one the one that says cig lighter is not blown... (interior fuse box) cant figure out the other 2 aux ones that im pretty sure are connected to the lights in the climate controls

 

Anyone?

 

Wouldn't the cig lighter be on its own fuse? I figured since its just a big resistor, they'd have it on its own fuse. I have no idea how to help you, but does the light in the ashtray come on with the rest of the dash lights?

 

Your cigarette lighter *and* your dash power outlet(s) are powered off the 15A CIG fuse.

It's a straight feed from the fuse to the cigarette lighter. The power outlets have an inline relay between them and the fuse. If the outlets are dead and the lighter is working, I'm guessing it's the relay (or a wiring fault).

Your heater blower and A/C switch illumination is powered off the 10A PANEL fuse. If this fuse were blown, you'd have no dash illumination at all. The cigarette lighter illumination (as opposed to the lighter's power) is also powered off this fuse.

 

I dont think there is a light in the ash tray....just no climate control back lights and no shifter lighting also no power in my 2 aux outlets...

 

Randy comes through yet again!

 

Thank you so much... so chances are that the 2 bulbs behind my heater blower and A/C switch have gone bad? What about the gear selection illumination next to the cup holders? its an automatic

 

What about it? Are you saying it's not working either?

 

Mine definitely has one. Go outside in the dark and turn the headlights on. Open the ashtray.

SURPRISE!!!

 

yeah its not working either..

 

If I'm not mistaken, the floor A/T indicator illumination is powered off one of the two fuses already mentioned (10A PANEL; 15A CIG).

 

None of my fuses are blown....????so i guess I should just replace the bulbs and try that out?....anyone know if its the same bulb that are in the ac/heat panel? those lil bastards are 7 bucks a peice at the stealership, and im almost positive thats the only place to get that size bulb?

 

I'd check for a wiring fault before I'd buy new bulbs. If those lights on 2 different circuits went out at about the same time, I'd suspect wiring.

 

thanks
