    Too many to list. See build page. Link in signature
    I still don't understand why your even wasting your time with mechanics and trying to fix this yourself. Call Toyota, part of your warranty say that if your car breaks down under warranty, Toyota will pay to have it towed to the dealership and they should also supply a rental. They are obligated to fix it under warranty and if they can't then they need to replace the truck. Its really that simple. And they can't deny your warranty unless they can PROVE that your mods caused the failure. Its the law!

    If you got a auto Tacoma look by the "p" park above it should have a black cap of you remove the cap with a pen or something there's a button under when you wanna get out of park press that button and should release it out of park the only thing is that the break lights don't work

    The brake light fuse...

    OP, did you find BOTH fuse panels? One behind the small storage drawer in the dash, one under the hood. IIRC, the brake fuse is in the dash fuse panel.

    If the fuse is indeed good, probably the brake light switch above the pedal.

    Agreed.

    This has happened to one of our company trucks. It's an 05. The wiring for the campershell's integrated third brake light was shorted. This caused the brake light fuse in the interior fuse panel to blow. My boss corrected the shorted wire and changed the fuse. It's been fine for years now. I would really hope that if your problem is this simple, the Toyota guys would have found it, but who knows?

    If I were you OP, I would take off every electrical component you have added to the truck, put all the wiring back the way it was before your mods, check ALL the fuses, then take it back to Toyota and let them do their thing. Hopefully you didn't burn up a control module or something like that. If you did, there's nothing you can do about it now, just keep that in mind when going in for warranty work. If they can prove your mods caused a failure, then it's not going to be covered.

    Good luck. My best guess is it's got something to do with your alarm install, since you don't seem to have touched the brake lights, just the signals? Edit: not sure where I got the alarm idea. Just re-read and don't see it now. Sorry bout that.

    When dealing with brand new vehicles, it's almost always the last thing that you did.:eek:

    That's why I asked if the brake lights are working. But I didn't get an answer. *shrugs*



    *sigh* Nobody listens to the girl...
