    So I replaced the UCAs on my Tacoma and in getting the upper bolts out I may have stressed one of the wire harness that connects the outdoor ambient temp sensor. Since I have done the project, my directional, temp sensor in the cab of the truck does not illuminate. Any thoughts here? I check the connections to the temperature sensor and it seems it didn't become disconnected. Thanks

    Any thoughts in helping diagnosing the problem here?

    If it's not illuminating, it's most likely not getting power. Check your fuses first, then pull the overhead console and check for power. There's also a known issue with the overhead temp/direction boards having bad solder joints. It might just be dumb luck that it gave out at the same time as when you did your UCAs. There are threads on how to fix the board on here. Just don't have the link handy.
