Did you connect the orange wire for illumination? If so, dont.. I did this is my 99 tacoma and kept blowing the taillight fuses..... Double check all of your fuses...

Did you "look" at them or did you check them with a fuse tester? and did you check the relays in the engine bay??

[battousaix27]

yes i checked the fuses all oh them with a tester. The relays.. im not sure how to test that.. and im pretty sure its not that. I think i did use a an orange wire somewhere.

I'm telling u, I had all kinds of trouble after I installed the orange wire... I had to disconnect the orange wire and then had to triple check my fuses... It ended up being a blown fuse because of the orange illumination wire.. Hope this helps

9 hours later........ I guess the fuse box ate him.

Try this: remove the stuff you installed, check your lights and see if they still work. If not then you will know for sure.

Leaving your hazards unplugged just makes it so your directionals don't work.

I did this in a 90 rolla, I blew a 15A or 20A fuse, ones blue ones red, the red one I believe near the mid of the fuses by the ebrake I have no idea which it is as I never knew which fuses it was

anyways, I took the stereo out and the dash illumination wire did it, it wasn't connected but it did it the frame of the car which fucking shot it to hell

make sure any extra wires are TAPED do not rely on those lil plastic plugs on the end, you want no wire showing period

also check your fuses again with your eyes and a magnifier, you have a blown fuse and I'm 100% sure of it

if you don't I'll be very very very surprised

[diver9000]

Do it the safe way. Just change out all your fuses and then there is no question that they are all good.

I didn't go that far, I just investigated each and every one
