Ok 3rd genners, I could really use some help on what I thought would be a simple bulb replacement! I’ve parked my 5th gen for the time and working on a 99 SR5 4WD for my son who will turn 16 soon. I followed the instructions in threads here to do an LED replacement of the center console bulbs...

Yes, unfortunately I’ve tried flipping every which way. I’ve flipped the bulbs, I’ve flipped the twist locks, and now I’ve gone all the way back to incandescent. I’ll double check the ribbon wires but they’ve all been unplugged and re plugged a few times in the process. Unless I’ve somehow...

Still have trouble with the 3 dash #24’s! I feel like I’ve tried everything so I’m coming back to this thread for help. I followed this tutorial and it was very helpful in getting all of my bulbs replaced, however the three Dash 24s just won’t light up. One was burning when I went to do the...
