    The other day, I noticed that going from reverse to drive got heavy/clonky. Then the engine light came on, the back up cam no longer worked, the parking assist no longer worked and traction control became disabled.

    I feared that I'd trashed my transmission somehow.

    My Toyota dealer called me. They said that the fuse had blown for the rear tail lights/back up, and had triggered all the issues.

    Thought I'd post this up for feedback etc

    My truck is the 2016 Platinum Edition

    Just another reason to always disconnect the negative side of the battery no matter what electrical you're doing.

    On my old 2004 F150 the cruise wouldn't stay engaged one day. Quick search of the internet told me that my 3rd brake light bulb was out. Do you think an unscrupulous dealer couldn't get some serious coin on that issue?
