    2020 Toyota Tundra SR5
    airlift system Towing mirrors
    I've got a 2020 Tundra SR5,
    I bought some tow mirrors to install on it.. I bought them from Redline360.com.
    Model mirrors
    Spec-d Towing Mirrors Toyota Tundra (2007 -2020) Powered / Heated / LED Turn Signal x 1

    easy to install, I got them put on and decided to test them out before doing the wiring for the backup light..

    started the truck, turned on left blinker and it blinked once and no more.. turned on left blinker and the left blinker worked.. turned on headlights and marker lights didn't work at all on either side..
    I then tried to adjust the power mirror.. I did the right side 1st and it started moving.. but then all of a sudden.. my radio went dead.. nothing on it works.. I figured I blew a fuse.. replaced the radio fuse and still can't get nothing to work on the radio..

    I unplugged the driver side mirror and now my blinks on the truck work.. but my radio is still dead...
    Besides the fuse.. what else could have happened to my radio..?? I'm not that mechanically inclined and know little to nothing about wiring.. but I just can't wrap my head around what else could have happened.. if anybody has any ideals.. somebody please help.. thanks in advance..

    Should just be a fuse or two. I don’t have the panel diagram for a 2020, but you should be able to see on both lids (in the engine bay by battery and in the cab behind the parking brake) anything related to the radio.

    Check the build link in my signature.
    Welcome to the site.

    I’m betting you’ve popped an accessory power fuse. Most things on these trucks don’t have just one fuse in their circuiting - you’ll want to pull down the EWDs that Kelly linked and look at COMMON fuses between the circuits for your mirrors and your radio. I also wouldn’t be surprised if you have other things not functioning like 12v power outlets, USB chargers, etc.

    also be sure to actually check the fuse with a multimeter - sometimes they are hard to tell if they’ve popped just by looking.

    more concerning is that “plug-and-play” aftermarket mirrors caused some shorts that would pop fuses…

    Thanks everyone for the welcome and the input.. I'm taking to Toyota today.. I put stock mirrors back on the truck and hoping warranty will kick in on it for repair.. I'm sure it's a simple fix but I'm not that mechanically inclined to know what to do...
    Many thanks to you all.. :)

    Here is the fuse box panel cover from below the dash of my '18.

    Not sure if you'll get a response from OP or what year you have but this could be a start. Also take what everyone has suggested in here as really good advice. They know their stuff! :thumbsup:
    Also be helpful if you provide details like what year and what all isn't working or did you make any changes like OP did. I'm sure someone else will chime in. Good luck.
