    I just couldn't wait... to try out these cool LED lights that I got. With the power ON, I was connecting the lights when the wires slipped out of my fingers and touched. I popped the fuse for the running lights, and can't make sense of the diagram on the inside of the fuse panel.

    Does anyone know which fuse I need to swap out? (2007 Taco)

    THANKS!

    Can't just pull 'em out one at a time and look?
    Or test continuity with a meter?

    I don't have a meter, and I looked and they all look fine... From experience, I know that a fuse can pop without looking blackened to any extent.

    It's not that I can't get the orientation correct, it's the acronyms and abrieviations that don't make sense. Does that make sense?

    All the fuses look fine... I don't see one that looks anything but good as new.

    Checking...

    They say where the fuses are in the vehicle but not what fuses power what systems (AKA, running lights).

    Checked. No interior lights, and no tail lights either. Good idea though...

    Are you checking the fuse box under the hood or behind the change holder?

    I should have said that I recently had this problem. I didn't bother to check if the truck starts, since the last time that this happened the truck ran just fine for quite some time. I finally found in the "specifications" section of the owner's manual, that "TAIL 10 A" powers "tail lights, license plate lights, parking lights, mulitport... front fog lights, instrument panel light control, and illuminations."

    So I am going to go check that! :D

    Correct, that's where "TAIL 10 A" is located. So I am going to go check right now...
