This 2013 Tacoma is equipped with the relatively newer style low profile mini blade fuses.

If necessary, they can be replaced with the slightly taller standard mini blade fuses.

New fuses can be purchased at Walmart, Advance Auto Parts, NAPA, Auto Zone, Pep Boys or online at Amazon.

The engine bay electrical box is located just behind the 12V automotive battery.

Push in the tab on the rear edge of the fuse box cover to release the retaining clip.

Gently pull the fuse box cover off and turn it over.

There is a fuse location diagram on the underside of the fuse box cover and also another one in your owner's manual.

A white plastic fuse puller tool should be attached to the underside of the engine bay fuse box cover.

If the tool is missing, you may also be able to use a pair of needle nose pliers with rubber insulated handles.

The interior passenger compartment electrical block is located under the driver side of the dashboard near where your left knee would normally reside while driving.

There is a fuse location diagram on the back side of the storage compartment.

Place the jaws over the old fuse you'd like to check or change and then pull it straight out of the socket.

If the thin metal strip in the translucent plastic center of the old fuse is burnt or broken, the old fuse is most likely "blown" and should be replaced.

If the thin metal bar in the middle of the old fuse appears to be intact, the old fuse is most likely still good. But since new fuses are so inexpensive, the old fuse should still be replaced as part of your electrical issue troubleshooting process.

Push a new low profile mini blade fuse of the same amperage rating (5, 10, 15, 20 & 25) straight in to the socket.

If you can't find low profile fuses, you can also use an older style mini blade fuse which will just stick out of the socket a bit.

Line up the fuse box cover and gently push it back in to place to secure the retaining clips.

Close the storage drawer to complete the procedure.

Test the electrical component that you were having problems with such as the horn, radio, A/C, wiper blades, tail lights, headlights, 12V power outlet, power windows, etc.

If the issue hasn't been resolved, you might have a shorted out wire somewhere or the electrical component itself is faulty and needs to be replaced.
