    Recently had fiberglass fenders and bedsides installed. Left there no problems. Out front and rear bumpers back on and wired up winch and lights, no problems. Plugged in. We lights for bumper last night, hit switch pros button, no light. Got up this morning to work on that, drove truck up to garage. Turned it off. Messed with wires, looked in fuse box. Saw nothing, so went to restart and this...wtf did I do now?

    Try disconnecting the battery and let sit for a bit.

    its an optimal yellow top, could have killed it? Only 6 months old

    I doubt it, Toyota brand batteries have a habit of giving up with no notice..

    Did you wire the switch pro to an ignition wire? Maybe something shorted out. Go in reverse of what you did before it stopped to look for the problem.

    Optimas despise the heat, I killed 3 (yellow) within 18 months, and Pep boys refused to swap to a 4th one without authorization from Optima.. which they also declined, so I went back to over the counter batteries... The base I was stationed at also ditched the red tops due to poor reliability in the middle of the desert in favor of more reliable batteries...

    Cranks strong. Not a battery or relay issue.
    Honestly, I'd go back and check the fuse box. I was doing work on my truck and stuck a fuse back in the wrong location. It's easy to do on our trucks because you're looking at the fuse box upside down.

    It was a fuse tap with a blown fuse, back up and running!
