    Greetings fellow Tundra Owners,

    I have notice an issue with my 14' 1794 edition Tundra. The buttons for the radio and climate control no longer illuminate like they use to. The illumination for my speedometer still lights up at night and is dimmable using the dial, but the other buttons do not light up. My first instinct was to check the fuse, but when checking both fuse boxes I was not sure what this would be labeled under. Attached are some pictures that I have taken at night time. I have not done any electronics mods or upgrades to the truck.

    Look for the park light fuse. If your truck has any aftermarket led lights I would remove those first.

    I took mine to the dealership due to a similar problem. They put a new fuse in at no charge.
    Been out of warranty a couple of years.

    I was finally able to resolve this issue! Turns out the @DallasTundra was correct ! It was a faulty fuse. When I initially checked it the fuse was good and not broken, but turns out the fuse itself was faulty causing the HVAC lights not to light up.

    Glad you got it fixed. My fuses looked okay at first glance also, but the technician found two faulty ones. I was holding my breath, till the service advisor said “no charge”.
