and why aren't there readily available fuse diagrams?!

......or am I just missing it because I'm scrambling to change the fuse before it gets dark...

Well in the 2013 4Runner it's fuse 35 and is in the engine compartment fuse panel. Ref pages 564 and 565 of the 2013 owners manual. It's a 10A fuse for interior and vanity lights.
 
In my '14, the inside fuse box is way underneath the dash, completely horizontal (facing down), to the left of the parking brake. I know this because I blew the cigarette lighter fuse, and being physically disabled, but also a big guy, it was really difficult to change the fuse. Very bad design.

"Be careful what you wish for..." hahaha!



Thought I'd leave these, 2011 Toyota 4Runner "Limited" interior (Courtesy) electrical system diagrams for whomever may want to use them!

Rgds!

THANKS!! Got it all taken care of. Hopefully someone will be as frustrated as I was and will now know where to find the info!
 
Quick question, are all the interior lighting fuses located in the footwell fuse compartment or in the hood area one? Having an issue after trying to install some leds and hoping i blew a fuse,thank you
 
2014 4Runner interior fuse location

I'm looking for the interior fuse location , went to install led interior and now none of them work and can't find the location whether it's inside or in engine bay
 
Same issue please help!

Sorry to bring up an old thread, but I found this and I am having the same issue - was installing all new led interior lights last night and all of a sudden none are working - assuming its the fuse. Does anyone know which fuse it is on a 2016? Thanks a bunch!!

Did you figure this out? I was installing the led lights as well and during the map light installation everything went out. Let me know what you did or if anyone else knows what to do.
 
Yes found it.

Just as Wanderlust above indicated, it is under the hood in fuse box - labeled “Dome” on the diagram. There is a white fuse removal clamp/tool you will find in the box as well that is quite handy. Still dont know why original fuse blew during led install.

Thanks! Gonna run to advanced auto to get some fuses.
 
So I replaced the fuse and yay the lights started working again. However, the one I was working on that blew the fuse is still not working. The passenger map light switch doesn't activate the light, however the driver side map light works just fine. I put the oem bulb in there and still nothing. Anyone have a clue what I need to do?

Update: I kept fiddling around with it and looks like I messed up the driver side now as I blew a fuse on that side and now that side only works periodically, weird like every 3 button clicks and won't engage when the door opens. So frustrating. Really hoping this isn't an expensive fix....

Map lights out

Very odd.... Replaced the driver's side map light with led. Initially it only turned off and on when the PASSENGERS side button was pushed. Installed the PASSENGER side led and... Nothing. Won't activate when done is opened or when button is pushed. Reverted back to stock bulbs and they still don't work.

Done fuse is fine and everything else in the car works fine as far as I can tell.

Thanks in advance
 
Interior light fuse & schematic

These images are too blurry to zoom in to see. I am trying to wire an aux switch that requires backlighting when the headlights are on. I want to fuse tap to a 10A Interior lighting fuse. Can someone let me know which one that is?

not a fuse. tap into the green (illumination) wire that runs to any of the oem switch buttons to the left of the steering wheel that light up when your dash lights are on.
 
The blurry photobucket images are due to some issue with photobucket. For a while PB was free. Then they decided to charge for their service and blurred all previously stored images of people who didn't pay. As a result, you will see blurred images in many threads.

You 10A fuse should be listed in one of the fuse block (engine bay or cabin drivers footwell) diagrams: either on the covers or in the owners manual for your model year.

Also, it's a good idea to disconnect the battery when working on electrical issues (mods, troubleshooting, etc.) You may just avoid some of the issues stated above. In previous threads there have been problems with sockets that hold bulbs for tail, brake and some interior lights. Poor crimps are usually the culprit and or coupled with corrosion on less than stellar contacts. Playing around with these sockets changing bulbs can induce a failure of a bad connection waiting to happen. Having a meter to troubleshoot is a big help here. you can easily determine if voltage is present in the socket and just before it to verify the socket good or bad - or if your problem is elsewhere.
