    The dash cluster lights on the right side of the dash in my 04 tacoma went out so today I replaced them. Now, the blinkers, 2 other cluster lights, and two of the buttons on my radio won't work. What the heck is wrong? All the fuses are good.

    Take it back apart and re-connect the connectors.

    Tacoma is stock and staying that way, Pickup is TBA as of now.
    I have to say that this worked for me! The dash lights have always been out on the left half of the tach all the way to the fuel gauge, but one night while I was driving the lights on the far right of the speedo were threatening to go out so I rapped on the dash a couple times and they came back on and have stayed on ever since, haha!

    If you take the connector apart again spray it with WD-40 and cycle apart a couple times should be good to go.

    It's not just the bulbs behind the dash though. The blinkers wont work at all.

    They are tied together with the light switch on the steering column so maybe the light switch?
