    I just bought another Tacoma, it's my first 'first' gen. Yesterday on my way to work I noticed no right tail light, no dash light and no dome light. By unplugging and plugging back in the combination switch for the head lights I gained my dash light but still missing right tail and dome. I've pulled and inspected every mini fuse.

    I would get a test light and test all connectors. It’s not going to be fun chasing gremlins.

    Maybe a member who has had this exact issue will chime in.

    I'm probably going to pull out the harness for the tail light afterwork with a tester. That's the most important.
