Tail light/dash lights out

I found this useful diagram at troubleshoot vehicle.com. It answers your question. Fuse box is located below steering column.

The fuse box is located on the driver side of the dash, below the steering column.

Not totally positive but I believe on your Toyota there are two places that fuses are located. You stated that all fuses under the bonnet are fine and I assume that means under the hood. The other place to check for a blown fuse would be under the dash instrument panel usually located directly above where your left knee would be while sitting in the drivers seat. Hope this is of some help. Good. Luck.

could be a in line fuseable link

change your dimmer light switch and check the "tail" fuse

check all the fuses as these work off separate systems than the headlights.also make sure the headlight dimmer switch for the dash lights is not turned off with the switch.

If the tail lights and the dash lights stopped working and the tail light and the panel lighting fuses are both o.k. and you can find no other blown fuses then the problem is most likely the headlight switch.

check the fuse box for blown fuze

did you check the bulb,relay or fuse for low beam

You likely blew a fuse for your lights. Here is a wiring diagram for the original radio.

have you checked the bulbs, wiring, and plugs in the trunk for corrosion? have you checked the tail light or marker light fuse. the headlights and taillights are on separate fuses. mike
