on February 04, 2017

I live in hilo,Hawaii. I had an after market stereo would flicker on and off when I drive. On Christmas Day I went to maunakea to grab snow and as I was driving up I hit a few bumps and my hole truck lost power. Put in park and Tried to start it the first time no power second time power but it doesn't start third time it starts but won't turn over. Check my fuses and found that my EF I number one fuse #25 was blown. Replaced it with a new one now my truck starts on the on position but still doesn't turn over and when I turn the key back the starter still engaged without the truck even running so I have to disconnect my battery terminals to shut the starter off. I'm thinking it might be the starter but sounds like the main brain to the truck might be fried. Just seeing if anyone has any ideas before I start purchasing parts for my 07 Toyota tundra 2wd 5.7

My car has 15000 miles.
My car has an automatic transmission.
