Sup Gents,
New to the site and to the Tacoma world. I bought this truck new earlier this year, the wife surprised me with a set of interior lights from Amazon. Well here is where I believe i fucked up. I had all the interior lights swapped out other than the dome light. All interior lights were on during the install of the leds. As i was installing the last led in the dome, it slipped out of my fingers while maintaining connection very loosely. In the moment as the light was falling out of my fingers, the truck went dark. The dome light with the led did work for a very short time, as in a few seconds if that. Which is when the truck went dark. The ambient lights inside the truck work along with the radio, dash, door panel ect. The lights that currently do NOT work are the sun visor lights, upper console (where the crawl control lives), and the dome light. Basically everywhere a LED could live went out.
Now here is my biggest worry and whereI already suspect that I am fucked, the fuse did not blow. Its a 20a from my understanding from looking under the hood. I believe i shorted something out but of course have no idea what or where. For good measure i swapped 20a fusees around to the dome location yet zero lights came back alive. I am pretty good with my hands and mechanically inclined so as much as an armature I am, I do know how to work around a vehicle. Granted though electrical issues is where my skills lack. Lost on where to look for the problem and panicking that im looking at a new wiring harness for the truck just to get interior lights back.
