    I was installing a backup camera on my 2008 Tundra and had a mishap. The mirror is a Master Tailgater and the camera is from Erapta. I now believe that these two are not compatible. I got the camera per instructions and I installed the mirror as instructed but when connecting them to each other, the backup view came up with the colored guide lines but the image was just wavy lines. I then realized that the image only displayed when I had the brake depressed. I shut things down and disconnected the camera to mirror connections. When I checked the lights on the back of the truck, I discovered that the brake light, running light, turn signal and backup light on the driver side of the truck are not working. I think a fuse is blown but have not found a bad one yet.

    Can anyone suggest what fuses to check?
    or...
    Do you think something more heinous has happened?
