A few weeks ago I installed a new radio I got for christmas. Once all the connections were made the radio worked perfect. When I turned on my lights at night, the dashboard lights didn't come on and my tail lights were out. I checked all of the fuses and the one for the tail lights was blown. I replaced it two times, but it instantaneously blew each time. I upped it to a 20amp fuse and now the tail lights have no problems. As for the dash lights, they are still out. The idiot lights still work. The lights for the speedometer, fuel guage, and temperature gauge don't light up. I pulled out the dash console and replaced the two bulbs behind these dials. This didn't fix it. I have checked and replaced everything I can think of. What can I do to fix this?

Thanks for your time.

Feb 2, 2012 I have just experienced the same problem. Not after any installation but suddenly, no dash lights? Fuses are fine? Everything else is fine? 2001 v-8 sr5 tundra

There is an integration relay that sounds like it is not working here is the location so you can sway it out, I have also included the wiring diagrams for the dash lights so you can see how the system works. Check out the images (below). Let us know if you need anything else.
