Bradb Posted January 22, 2002 Share Posted January 22, 2002 Just filling up in the station, walking back to car, front lights on, no mistake there. But no rear lights on or number plate lights working. Tried the brakes, sure enough they work. Took it to my usual back street garage. They checked the fuses as best they can not understanding japanese. Took a rear cluster out checked the bulbs to see if blown. Ok. Any ideas guys?

Matt Harwood Posted January 22, 2002 Share Posted January 22, 2002 Are your dash lights working? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bradb Posted January 22, 2002 Author Share Posted January 22, 2002 Perfectly.... Just rear standard night drive lights and rear number plates lights. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Harwood Posted January 22, 2002 Share Posted January 22, 2002 That's that one out the window then! Have you had both fusebox's checked? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bradb Posted January 22, 2002 Author Share Posted January 22, 2002 Both fuse boxes.. The small fuses have been checked, those big box fuse type thingies not been checked. Could it be one of those? How can you tell its gone? Is there a particular one it may be? Where can I get a replacment. Sales & Marketing, I'm your man. Technical stuff, leave that to you guys, the experts.

Matt Harwood Posted January 22, 2002 Share Posted January 22, 2002 Sorry mate, I can't help you any further. I could if I could see the car... I'm stumped. the rear lights are powered from the same fuse as the sidelights, (10a in the drivers kickwell), to be honest I would have thought it would also power the front sidelights. have you had any work done on the car recently? (since noticing the rear lights are out.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bradb Posted January 22, 2002 Author Share Posted January 22, 2002 4 new wheels put on today.. Nothing put in boot tho.. I only noticed the prob today tho, coincidence? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Wall Posted January 22, 2002 Share Posted January 22, 2002 I would guess this lot have to be on a relay or two. I would check your relays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Posted January 22, 2002 Share Posted January 22, 2002 Also try relay # 46 (in the owners manual) it's marked power and is 60A rated. This also supplies power for LH Tail, RH Tail, Number plate, Door, Dash lights. This is supplemental to the fuses which control the circuit coming out of the relay.

Bradb Posted January 22, 2002 Author Share Posted January 22, 2002 Phil, Whats the procedure to checking relays? Are they those half match box sized things in the fuse box? If so, how do I know one needs replacing? Also, where can i buy em from? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Posted January 22, 2002 Share Posted January 22, 2002 BTW this is in the engine compartment fuse box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bradb Posted January 22, 2002 Author Share Posted January 22, 2002 Brilliant Simon, Where can I buy a replacment from? I'm gonna dig out my user book now and take my maglite to it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bradb Posted January 22, 2002 Author Share Posted January 22, 2002 Owners manual.. What owners manual. Just looked. Not where it should be.. Is there any diagrams or scanned relevant page online? Cheers in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Wall Posted January 22, 2002 Share Posted January 22, 2002 Just remove and replace all the relays in the fuse box it may just be a dirty contact, not a blown relay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bradb Posted January 22, 2002 Author Share Posted January 22, 2002 I'll try that in the morn Phil. If that doesn't work? How much can you pick em up for? Toyota dealer or halfords? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bradb Posted January 23, 2002 Author Share Posted January 23, 2002 Problem solved. Nobody told me about the fuse box in the drivers side kick box, my frinedly Toyota dealership pointed me in that direction. 10a Blade fuse blown and replaced. Job done. Fully working.
