    Looking for some assistance on what is likely something simple. Turning the headlights on typically would illuminate the dash buttons such as the 400w, Clutch Starts Cancel, etc in that cluster of buttons. The fog light button still illuminates. Guessing it's a fuse but have not yet found it. Thanks in advance for any insight. Attached image as an example from another thread.

    The Inverter switch and Clutch Start Cancel switch don't have backlighting, all other backlighting is powered by the same circuit so if one works and others don't it's probably burnt out bulbs.

    Thanks for the response. Updated image of the actual dash and lights attached. The Aux Lights and LED Light Bar are newer and do not illuminate any more. The Clutch Start Pedal and 400w outlet buttons no longer illuminate when pressed. This is all after having the dealer work on the failed Master Clutch Cylinder.

    I bet they didn't plug them in... You have to remove all that to do the master cylinder, easy to forget to plug stuff in.

    They aren't backlit but your saying they don't do anything when pressed.

    Correct. When pressing the Clutch Start Pedal and 400w outlet buttons the small lights do not illuminate. All but the fog button are showing that behavior. Good call on the not plugging them back in during the master clutch cylinder job. I'll investigate and report back.

    Welp. Haven't been able to locate the plug for the buttons. Got a call in to the tech who worked on it at Toyota to figure out what he did. Good times.

    2014 Tacoma SR5 4x4 DC SB V6 AT Tow Pkg Entune+ Mostly stock with a few OEM mods.
    Stock (99.999%) OEM Bed Floor Mat, Front Bed Rail Cargo Net and hooks, Auto-Dim mirror w/Compass and outside Temperature display, TRD Pro Grille, Uni-Filter air pump modification, WeatherTech floor liners f/r. OEM All-Weather floor mats (summer).
    Use a good trim removal tube and pop out the switches and check each of the tiny bulbs. Some of them you can reach through the hole for the cubby next to the door and push them out from behind. All of mine were out when I got my truck. (traction control, RSCA and fog lights.) Use the good bulb in the fog-light switch that still works to check them. They just twist out from the switch socket and all. You can use a small pocket screwdriver in the tiny slot on the back of the bulb holder to twist them out of the switch. They are tiny bulbs and not the same as the PRNDL bulb in the shifter housing.

    Here are the part numbers:

    Toyota Bulb, Switch W/CAP Amber 90011-01058
    Toyota Bulb, Switch W/CAP Green 90010-01062
