    I have a 3rd gen Tacoma and the Radio and side mirror stopped working. The two fuses for the radio under the dash were good. Did not know that there was a 7.5 fuse that needed to be checked also.

    Welcome to the forum. The 7.5 A ECU-ACC does indeed provide juice to the radio and mirrors. Did you do any modifications on either circuit that would cause the fuse to blow?

    Yea I was adding a sub woofer and when I turned truck on because it was so hot outside. It blew the fuse because I continued to mess with the wires while truck was on.

    In the future be sure to disconnect the battery whenever you do electrical work on these trucks. Many people have blown out control systems just by changing out cabin lighting.

    Maybe the mirrors and radio are by subscription now. It could happen.

    I don't think I've seen much on here for the newer head unit going bad. Regardless, you're still under warranty, would be best to take it to the dealer and have it replaced for free.

    I have the same problem with my 2018 Tacoma. My fuse box doesn’t have that 7.5 fuse you speak off. Here my fuse box. Any suggestions? I didn’t see any blown fuses.

    Look under the dash inside the truck by your left knee

    Like @twtaco$ said, it's under the dash by the driver's door.

    Tacoma World to the rescue again. This just happened coming down the road when adjusting my passenger side mirror. Mirror quit moving and my screen/radio turned off. Now I just need to go to the parts store and get a mini lo pro fuse.
