    I was going to replace my dome light and the damn thing wouldn't come out. So like an idiot, I decided to use my screwdriver to remove it. This shorted something out apparently. This is what I am currently missing:

    Dome light
    Map lights
    Clock
    Stereo
    Power locks (but they work when key is turned over)
    Power mirrors (also work when key is turned over)
    Trip meters reset after turning the truck off
    *Ding* when you have the key in the ignition with door open (but I actually like this...)

    That's all I've noticed. I have a diagnosis appointment tomorrow at Toyota but I figured either someone might know what it is before then or at least this thread could serve as an informative thread for someone else.

    If anyone has a clue as to what it is, that'd be greatly appreciated. If I end up having to get the diagnosis, I will post the result in here.

    Check your fuses. One is blown. Best guess is the one labelled 'Dome' :p

    Yeah...like I said I'm an idiot. My buddy said fuse right away. And it was. Only the "Dome" one too, as you said.

    So I guess the problem is solved lol. I'll consider it 2 lessons learned. 1, don't use metal in electrical circuits... And 2, fuses are really useful.

    Well now that I have that out of the way, I can change my appointment to a 4x4 diagnosis instead :p

    Guilty as charged. I may not know much about electrical systems, but c'mon. I should have at least thought to check fuses. Those are always the first things I check...normally. I guess I was overwhelmed with aggravation at me fucking my shit up like a dumbass.
