    So i was offroading through some sand and we hit a pretty bumpy part where my car bottomed out. When we hit the bump it caused my radio to turn off and we havent been able to turn it back on. I also noticed that some other electrical components such as the door locks and the dome lite wont turn on. The cars starts and drives normally. So its just those few electrical things that wont work...Im thinking maybe its a fuse?
    My car is a 2001 Toyota Tacoma 4wd V6 3.4Ltr...

    Maybe the DOME fuse as that provides constant power to the dome light and radio even with the key off. The radio needs constant power to keep presets, etc.
