Hi everyone

Any idea why my number 9 (15amp) Gauge fuse keeps blowing. I have replace 3 in the last week.
It's important because of the meter.

GAUGE
15

Exterior. I only say that because it seems like that is a easy failure. Back up. Running, and door open switch. It could easily be the cluster but doing the easy stuff first is easy. 2002 and 2003+ differences aside, it's still the first thing someone should check. I chased one for three days even though the bulbs looked ok. Then if you search you find 4runner and Tacoma people talk about the same thing. Running lights, back up lights etc looking fine but they're not. Sort of like fuses that look ok but aren't, then you sand the legs down and they work normally.

The fault was from antenna power. I dont know how. But I replaced both fuses and waiting.
