do you know how to troubleshoot electrical problems?

If it were me I’d start at the battery and see if it was still good or not. Then I would check the fuses for the accessories you said were out. Last I’ll connect my obd-II scanner to see if can read any modules to determine if the main computer works or not

I hate to say this, but you may have to take that to a professional and hope your car main computer ain’t went poof.

I’m disconnecting the battery for about a hour, while checking the fuses.

cost of fixing may supersede the car value itself (being a 2007 car). Hope it can be fixed though.

if you can't troubleshoot there is not much you can do
you may have to do what easy said
what angry man said may reset the computer
other than that dawg not much else can be suggested

I am going to disconnect the battery next. But those fuses under the steering wheel is hard to work with. You got to find a special way to lay to even try to look them over and harder to take in and out

This is going to sound weird, but I'd take a look at the ABS module.
I'm 90% that is your problem, it's the common culprit with the issues that you have indicted.

Read this at your own risk. Remember, this came from Toyota dealership it’s not good news.

I replaced the abs pump control module (mainly the black part of what he showed). It was a new one but I guess I will have to give up and drive the car like it is.
