DIY 01 Taco wiring stumpage

Hi all, just figured I'd throw this question out there. I plugged an air compressor into one of the power plugs in the dash and it worked OK for a minute, then it quit like a blown fuse taking my radio with it. I've checked all the fuses and nothing "seems" to be blown. Anyone have an idea where I might look for a problem that affects both the power plugs and the radio? I've got the Haynes manual but I didn't see anything that helped. Of course I could just be in left field to.

Thanks, Steve

The power ports may also go through a relay. On the tundras it is under the hood.

The dash power outlet(s) and OEM radio circuits both use the 15A Dome and the 15A Accessory fuses.

Did you check both fuse box locations (under the hood and behind the lower left dash)?

Only checked under the hood. Didn't even know about any under the dash. On my way to check now! Thanks.
