08 tundra

My step dad with memory issues put the battery in backwards.... Iv checked fuses an replaced. Replaced the brake light switch on the gas pedal I still cannot get my vehicle out of gear and I do not have any lights or brake lights what's my next step cuz I'm stuck?

 

Check more fuses below the dash.

 

Iv checked all fuses under the hood an interior of truck an replaced needed fuses

 

Maybe the body ecu is toast, but I would wait for other's input.

 

I want to say there is a "master" fuse that you need to check. Not sure if under hood or in cab.
Good luck!

 

The truck runs an starts... Just have no lights or brake lights... And can't shift out of park

 

Tow the truck to dealer, let step-daddy fix on his dime since he f**ked it up.

 

While that maybe nice to have happen... I support my father completely an truthfully don't have the financial ability to afford a shop to fix said issue

 

Anyways any advise would be much appreciated an excepted concerning my trucks issue...

 

I think you are on the right track. You can't get the truck out of park if you have a bad brake lights.

Double check the cab fuses. They are a pain to get to, but meter each fuse for conductivity.

 

Ok ... But I have checked each fuse several times over... How do I check the light bulbs at the rear of truck? Forgive me... But I'v never been in automotive repair tell now...

 

You say no lights or brake lights, do you mean no headlights & parking lights or no interior lights? And the warning lights on the dash check good when you turn the key on but don’t light up when you start the truck?

It seems like when this has happened in the past on this forum it often blows one of the main fuses (150-180 amp). But that usually would cause more issues than just lights.

 

I can't get it out of gear either! An I have no headlights tail lights or brake lights! Everything seems good on the dash board though
