    I have a 2013 tacoma pre runner, my interior button lights do not work when I turn on my headlights along with the gear shift lights, the dome and mirror and gage cluster lights do work and it’s not the dimmer switch, clock still works, it’s just the interior buttons do not light up along with my tail lights when I turn my lights on, blinker works and brake lights work and third brake light, just not when I turn my headlights on, what’s the issue???

    What did you find when you checked (with a DVM) the appropriate fuses?

    I looked up countless YouTube videos on it and still can’t find the correct fuse if that’s even the issue, I checked the driver side box and under the hood, people are saying maybe it’s a bad ground but I don’t know where that would be

    So any fuses you pulled, you tested with a DVM, not just looked at them?

    Sorry, no. But the point is you can pull them one at a time and test with the DVM and eliminate (or fix) a fuse issue. 15 minutes tops.
