I have the GTS model, that has developed a problem with a fuse, I believe. The automatic daytime running lights are no longer working and neither is the fuel gauge, and the door locking button. Also, the " out of gas" fuel pump picture is showing. Do you know which fuse this indicates I should replace?

Did these thing all go off simultaneously (same time)?

Start by checking all fuses with a test light, looking at them doesnt verify if they have power to them as well as through them

Heres a guide on using a test light

Yes they did. I did not even realize they had quit. I parked the car and everything was fine, I started it and prepared to leave and the problems began.

I visually inspected every fuse in all three fuse boxes with none looking blown. I was hoping that a Toyota mechanic/expert would know where all of the items I listed would come together in a fuse or something. I do need to add that the annoying buzzer that normally goew off when the door is opened and the key is in the ignition has stopped working as well. Any ideas would be welcomed.
