I have an '07 Yaris RS, 250,000KM car has been fantastic since i bought it new in '07. But i now seem to be developing an electrical problem that i hope i can explain fully and get some advice.
First of all i DO have Daytime Running Lights (Ont Canada)
The problem ONLY occurs when i turn on parking lights (first notch)
or head lights fully on (2nd turn of the light stock)
So what is happening is when my headlights are on and i put my foot on the brake my left turn signal light on my dash illuminates.
Doesn't matter if the car is running or not.
No bulbs are burnt out.
I checked every bulb doing a walk around the car and i noticed the driver side amber turn signal also illuminates just slightly when the brake pedal is pushed.
Any clue where to start looking to resolve this?

thanks!

My guess is that the headlight stalk is failing internally.

But, have you changed anything with the lights (aftermarket headlights, LED tail light bulbs, etc.)?
