    Just been there, every single symptom you have described fits the blown/bad fuse to a T. Don't ask me why, but the fuse is spidered into 90% of the electrical systems in the truck...every single item you mentioned that isn't working didn't in my truck when the fuse would blow.

    i dont recall the res numbers, i was using info i pulled off the web, its been a cpl years, i googled tacoma abs , i actually had to check both sides for comparison, just unplug at wheel sensor and the under hood commection and check one wire at a time end to end. i fig this out after replaceing both abs sensors, the mechanics scanner was codeing abs sensor, replaced one side, abs light still on, replaced other side, light still on, went home and did my own testing. gd luck

    Thanks brother! I replaced the fuse and cleared the code, and alls good now!

    I would have never thought that so many unrelated things would be on such a tiny 10 amp fuse.
    Don't know why it blew though.

    Thanks for the info, as I said just above the fuse was the culprit. But it's never a bad thing to at least visually inspect my wires and other things. Glad I did it still.

    Glad you found the culprit! I don't know why they engineer things the way they do, but it makes it extremely difficult to trouble shoot. Hopefully it was an isolated incident, because it can become an ongoing nightmare. I think I solved my problem when I replaced my AC blower motor, but still to this day, almost a year later, still can't definitively prove it was the AC motor causing my issues.
