#60 of 65 12v power supplies, clock and radio all failed by anole

My 2004 6cyl xcab had all these things fail more or less at once. Fuses were blown, but I replaced them and still no joy. The fuses are still good. Also the lights under the fan dial and the light under the PRND12 indicator have become somewhat intermittent.

I have a 2002 Tacoma. I was driving to work just the other day and hit a few pot holes pretty hard, all of a sudden my left blinker came on and stayed on. I'm thinking it has to be a loose connection. Did you ever find out what the root of the problem was? Please let me know, it is really annoying.
#62 of 65 Headlights melting, DRL issue by mtrialsm

My 2009 quad-cab Tacoma, the headlights lense area in front of the daytime running lights have melted and cracked. I see this reported on other Toyota forums, so I thought I post it here. Check your headlights. Since my truck has 47k miles on it, Toyota will not replace lights. I feel this is a safety issue and have filled a complaint to the DOT safety site.Since new, the radio has been replaced, the rear spring and shocks were replaced, a recall on the floor mats, and a TSP on the steering clock spring. Oh well that about like the history of the 2001 Dakota that I sold to get my Tacoma. At least I got 20.75 mpg on my last fill-up.

Three months out of warranty and with 34,000 miles I have fuel sensor light indicator issue with my 2009 Tacoma. When I asked Toyota if they would cover the repair cost of $300 they said no. Their response reminds me of how GM treated customers in the 80's. I haven't bought a GM product since then and plan to do the same with Toyota.#65 of 65 Tacoma Headlights Going Out by stumblesmcgee

I've encountered this reoccurring problem with the headlights/dashboard lights in my 2003 Toyota Tacoma where they'll go out when I'm driving. It happens 90% of the time during wet weather conditions (snow/rain). If I turn my headlights off and then turn then back on, they'll come back on. I've read several topics here where people have experienced problems with them randomly turning on, but I have the complete opposite problem. This proves to be a huge problem as it hinders my ability to drive at night.More recently, I've noticed that sometimes the dashboard lights remain on when the headlights go out. Each time this happens, I simply turn them off and then turn them back on and the lights will come on again. There's definitely a short somewhere, but I have no idea where to start looking or who I could take it to to have it looked at without costing me an arm and a leg.
I did see a thread regarding looking at the trailer harness hookup near the rear license plate. The reason I'm thinking of starting there first as I have noticed that occasionally my right blinker light will go solid when I apply my breaks. This doesn't happen 100% of the time, however, which further solidifies in my mind that there's a short somewhere. Anyone else encountered this problem and have a fix?
