I plugged a vibrating back massager into a Tundra (17k miles) and the following happened: vibrated strangely, pulled it out. Clock went out at sme point but came back on. Immediate rough idle and rough drive. Cigarette lighter only heats up to lukewarm. Nav system sporadically acting wacky and screen getting hot. Auto dim on Nav stopped working. Radio soon after has lost it's "power", no more rich, booming sound...have to turn it way up and it sounds weak. All fuses inside & under hood checked twice & were fine. No codes present. I have stopped driving it as some of these things were progressive, such as the Nav system acting oddly. Note: the back massager is completely dead...a short I would presume. I really need help with this. Any ideas would be appreciated

Check the ground connection between the engine and the frame. If it's bad, everything electrical will act up.
Somebody who knows how to use a voltmeter could probably track down the problem in two minutes.

look in manual under fuse section, most likley underneath the hood, on top, also check fuses underneath dashboard driver side,for any blown fuses they will be very noticble with a burn mark, and the inside metal silver piece of fuse will be split in to. the fuses under hood driver side top.bascially use manual
as refernce for locating devices and components in vechicle,
be sure to check them all, and be very through could save your self a trip to the dealer.

Sound to me like you zapped your alternator, put volt meter across batt. should read about 12 to 14 volts running if lower replace
