    Helllo All,

    I have a 2015 Tacoma TRD Pro with 133115 on the odometer. Just less than an hour ago while driving on my way home (freeway) my speedometer went from 80mph to 0mph, ABS, BRAKE, Traction Control, all came on at once, as well as the low tire light flashed off and on for approximately 3 minutes then stopped. Also, the odometer stopped working (133115). But, tachometer still worked. When I got home, parked, and turned off my truck, it wouldn’t start back up. When I tried to start it, the engine would barely turn over and all the lights went dim. After I stop trying the alarm went off, but stopped after I turned the key off.


    Please help
    Thank you in advance

    Check your IG1 No 2 fuse in the interior fuse box, I'm thinking either it blew causing the alternator to quit charging among other things or the alternator just quit charging and the batter voltage got so low that systems started shutting down.

    Ok.. Thanks

    Hope I’m not being a goofball, but I went outside a few minutes ago and for shits & giggles attempted to start it. It started, but I was smelling something like an electrical burn. Lights were still dim

    Sounds like the alternator failed but I'd still want to check that fuse first.
