Just my opinion, but putting in a bigger fuse may be just asking for trouble. You could burn up some wiring, which could start an electrical fire; or the electric brakes on whatever you're towing might not work when you need them the most (i.e., when the Prodigy is putting out max current during a panic stop).

I would think that if you are plugged into the Tundra's prewired brake control connector this should be covered under warranty (unless your Prodigy is defective).

Also, it seems really odd that that the brake controller would be wired into a tail light circuit, though I am totally unfamiliar with Toyota wiring schematics. I know that if one was wiring the Prodigy from scratch, you are supposed to wire it directly to the battery using a circuit breaker, to insure you have a reliable connection. So, it's hard to imagine why Toyota would piggyback this onto a tail light circuit.

I am also moving my Prodigy from Hal (a 1978 Chevy 454 CC) to a new Tundra in a few weeks, so keep us posted on what you find out.

Good luck...
