Help an electrically challenged person out

2013 DCLB Sport model

Ok so ill give you some background on my issues as they've come. Im sure its something simple, but I cant find my Haynes manual to read through and figured the more knowledgeable folks here are more helpful anyways

A few months back i purchased a set up used VLED switchbacks from a member here. Thanks to USPS the arrived broken and the glass lens on the front of was broken loose. I contacted VLEDs and their customer service was phenomenal and told me how to epoxy the broken piece back on. So I did that. At that time I also ordered the double sided mounting tape for the pieces that need to be secured.

So a week later they come in, I install the VLED's and one doesnt work. i switch things around to double check if its a bulb or driver issue (i know its not called a driver i think thats only on HIDs, but no clue what to call it). Its the bulb itself. At this point I get frustrated after mounting and getting everything going. So i leave the single good VLED and single bad VLED in their spots and just figure ill go back and buy new regular bulbs when i feel like getting around to it. Until then i just leave the DRL lights off.

One evening I leave my truck running to grab something and I notice that the runnnig/amber light isnt on when i have the headlights on. That same drive i now realize my turn signals nor flashers do not work at all. Great. I replace the VLEDs and put regular bulbs back in and check the fuses and the turn signal fuse is bad. I replace it and all is right again in the world of turning

Now here is where I come to the professionals for help. Since its starting to get a little darker earlier, i have noticed a few things. I dont know if these are even related or if im just imagining it all together... Are the radio controls and the HVAC controls back lit? If so i have no back lights on them.... ALLLLSOOOO last week i got a call from a friend as i was leaving the neighborhood telling me to turn my headlights on... They were on, but now it also turns out my rear running lights when the headlights are on do not illuminate... Is there a fuse or something i need to check there as well? I dont know if this is even related to the turn signal issue, but it sure seems convenient that it all happened around the same time

TLDR: Installed LED's, popped that fuse. Could or did that mess up another fuse that could effect backlighting on radio and HVAC and now i have no rear running lights when headlights are on as well.. Any of this related or am i just an unlucky SOB with lighting issues

 

Fixed via 2nd gen forum. Blown fuse behind panel next to left knee.
