Cool No mechanical issues with my ‘00 SR5 so far

But it has been an electrical shitshow. Won’t bore anyone with a full list, but my latest disaster was when my inst. panel bulbs quit working (just the bulbs for the tac/speedo/gas gauge) along with my dimmer switch.. looking on here, the VERY first thing I found said I should check my tail lights, and then my fuses. Had my lights switched to “on” and checked, and all lights in he rear seemed fine, so what did I do? Checked all relevant fuses EXCEPT my tail fuse, because Hey.. they work. Well, after buying new LEDs for the three dash bulbs and yanking everything apart, while considering buying a new dimmer switch in case that had something to do with it, I thought to myself maaaaybe I should check that one fuse, just to cover all my bases.. son of a *****!! Well, swapped out the sure-as-hell blown tail 10 amp mini with my LAST spare.. started her up, and as soon as I touched the dimmer I literally heard the new fuse pop. Went and bought more fuses. Pop.. POP! Then, randomly, I remembered “hey, you had he tailgate torn open the other day to disconnect the electrical to the liftgate lock because of that stupid issue of it not wanting to stay locked when you hit the FOB.. There’s no way that could have anything to do with it tho, right?” Well, pulled the tailgate apart again to reluctantly plug my liftgate lock actuator back in (those things are a ****ing nightmare to unplug, at least in third gens,) threw in a new fuse, and LET THERE BE LIGHT!!!! I welcome any and all “you dumb dumb” retorts.
