    I have been troubleshooting an electrical issue after having water come up under hood through deep puddles, replaced all fuses beneath dash, and under hood, looking for the main battery power fuse as there is no interior lights when door is opened. No dash lights when key fob is inside vehicle the only thing working is the brake lights and horn. Battery is brand new.

    Vehicle:
    2017 Tacoma OR 4x4 (formerly a 1998 SR5 PU, 2002 OR 4x4, 1995 4x4 4Runner, 1985 4x4 Toy PU) ... and RIP’s (rust in pieces) to a Bronco II 4x4 & S10 Blazer 4x4
    Terrible issue- these trucks are too delicate for doing water crossings. Was it fresh or brackish (salty) water?
