We might be on to something Roy? I wiggled the wires and tiny bits of light hit my test light. Could I need new wire connectors rather then the fuse box? And what are they called if I do? So many names they use. Thank you Roy.

You are welcome.

They are connectors at the fuse box itself. They have pins in the connectors. Remove the connectors and make sure there are no damaged, burned or loose connections. You can use some dielectric grease to help the connection.

So I should disconnect and check for burned parts? If not burnt put some dielectric grease on and reconnect? I was thinking how much it would cost to get new connectors?

Yes, that sounds like a plan.

As far as price, it would be expensive to replace the pins in the connectors. Try cleaning them first.

Do you know what they are actually called in case I do this? Connectors for the fuse box for Toyota 2005 interior. Is that what I should use? Any special dielectric grease?

You could ask if they have a pigtail for the connectors to the fuse box. That is a premade connector with the pins and wires coming out. You only need to match the colors and connect with solder and shrink wrap.

Dielectric grease comes in a tube and is clear. Just ask for it at a parts store.

No, not needed. Just make sure the contacts that the fuse sits in is clean of any corrosion.

Just watched a video on YouTube on the diagrams. The one you posted I have a question on? Heater fuse with the arrow going to M2 AND THE A/C fuse going to M5. Could that also be under my hood fuse box? I tested a bunch of fuses and they were dead? I wonder if that is giving me the problem? Just hit me to ask? Thank you again!

We already determined that. That's why you are testing for power while wiggling the wires.

Why replace them if they have no power? That will do nothing.

You need to find out why you have no power in the fuse box you were working.

Start there.

I am going to use the digreaser into those plugs. I don't remember seeing any burn't plugs yet. I am going to look closely. Its hard when you are under the steering wheel and also freezing outside here. I tried using a mirror inside of my garage with my body upside with a light. I saw plugs at the auto store. They showed me some, but didn't actually go any further. I am going step by step now with what your telling me. Yes, you will know what I do. Thank you Roy.
