Just re read your original post, forgot it is a 15 model,
Don't touch it, take it to a dealer if you haven't fitted extra reverse lights.

If its warrantly let the dealer handle it, if the excellent port of Martynvella didn't get you there have a look to all other stuff that might be connected to reverse lights / switch (For example trailer reverse lights? Loads of conducting stuff in the connector might give similar issues)
Hopefully it's resolved already, would be great to know what was diagnosed in the end

I just had a similar problem, 2012 D4D. Drove it Friday with no problems. Replaced a cracked tail light assembly this morning with a $50 Ebay one, then went out in wife's car. Tonight went to drive the Hilux and found that my AC, blinkers, reverse lights, power windows, power heat and fan weren't working. Radio, wipers/washers, hazards, headlights, dash lights & remote central locking were OK. It seemed strange to me that the blinkers didn't work individually but the hazards and flash on lock/unlock were fine. I took the tail light back off, replaced the new wiring harness with the OEM one, then when the problem persisted went looking for a blown fuse.
Found that it was the 10A ECU/IG & Gauge fuse on the driver's side. Absolute pain in the arse to get my big clumbsy fingers in there to get it out, even with the supplied tool. Here's hoping that there was something wrong with the harness on the new tail light and I don't have to do that fuse again.

Turned out to be the switch on the gear box that signals reverse is engaged. Toyota replaced it and all good now

Check wiring to reverse light switch underneath on gear box and wiring to reverse lights if their after market lights id start with them , also trailer connector if you have one

I had the same issue with no power to accessories turned out to be the 100 amp fuse for the alternator in the engine bay it was hard to see the break in the fuse but once I located it an temp fixed it with 3 strands or 15amp house fuse wire all systems were go. Power windows wipers ect back again.
Note this fuse blew due to a previous mechanic changing the alternator n not taking the positive lead off the battery

I'd get the proper fuse link ASAP if I was you. Fuse wire for houses is rated for AC current and your vehicle is all DC. I'd prefer to eyre on the side of caution and get the proper link "Just to be Safe".
