A/C illumination lights out, shifter lights too.

I was installing a new headunit in my truck, and when everything was connected I noticed cluster lights worked (gauges) but the A/C illumination and shifter ought do not. They run on a similar circuit why do these not work and how to fix.

 

Solved the problem. Turns out it was an AM1 (7.5A) or the A/C (7.5A) fuse as both of those were blown. This saved me having to possibly order a new gauge cluster based on some information I seen on a 4runner form.

Does anyone know what the AM1 fuse is used for beside the illumination of the A/C and push buttons.

 

What caused the fuses to blow?

 

No, I've usually been very very careful, but for future projects I will. I was worried for a few days about the gauge cluster having to be replace. Definitely printing off a copy of this cheat to have on hand.
