Shifter gets stuck in park, and no electrical power for passenger day light lamp. Problem?
Fuse, would be first on the list to check. Assuming this is an auto-transmission, there needs to be power running (in whatever circuit) to the shift-interlock actuator to move it out of D (you have to step on the brake to move the shifter). Since there is another electrical component, the lamp, not working you have an electrical issue. Fuses would be the first thing to check.
Bad fuel economy

No lights when switch is in first position
Do tail lights come on in that position? If yes-- the switch should be OK. This may sound strange but I have see both bulbs bad at the same time in some cases. Did you try at least 1 new bulb.
2008 toyota tacoma - trouble starting it
This procedure usually works:
·Check the battery cable connections:
Make sure the negative cable makes a good ground connection at the battery and (preferably) at the engine. Make sure the positive cable, makes a good connection at the battery and at the starter.
·Check the battery the simple way, like this:
Turn on the headlights, then try to start the car.If the headlights do not dim or go out, then the battery is likely ok.
·Check the starter and solenoid:
If the wiring looks ok, then look at the starter solenoid for a good connection, and proper voltage at the starter(10 volts minimum while cranking).
If the starter spins and no crank, the problem is most likely the Solenoid's pinion gear is stuck.
Have someone hit (not too hard) the starter while you try to start the car. This usually works by dislodging a stuck pinion gear.
·Make a simple test of the alternator:
If you can, somehow get the engine running, measure the voltage at the battery. It should be at least 13.6 volts to properly charge the battery.
2008 Toyota Tacoma V6 Would the AC drain hose drip water onto the frame even if the AC was not used?
If there was a partial blockage in the drain at the ac box it is possible that water will still drip out over time . However some Toyota ac units use the same box for the heater core so I would be looking for a coolant leak in that area . Check coolant level and have a pressure test done on the coolant system to check for the leak. If the drain is in the frame under the car ,the water may be also from the windscreen plenum chamber that collects water from the windscreen and drains in that area.
How to replace spark plugs on a 2008 Toyota Tacoma 4 cyl
Not a difficult job, but difficult to outline without photo/video aid.Short list, using compressed air, blow out all of the junk that has collected under the intake muffler, then remove the muffler from the throttle body and airbox There are two large hoses, plus two small hoses, one on the rear (crankcase vent) and one in front. There is also a wire harness on the rear that needs to be separated.Once removed, make sure the top of the cam cover is clean, unplug the wiring harness from the coil packs, remove the bolts (10mm socket), and pull the coil packs from the plugs. The rear plug is a bit of a pain because of the wiring harnesses, but you can carefully separate them and move them out of the way.The Tacoma 2.7 uses Iridium plugs. Stick with the OEM Denso plugs, don\'t fall for the snake oil salesmen pushing 4 electrode or special "hot spark" designs.
