No tails?!
My 2 week old 3r just lost it's taillamps, parkers and lic place lights. They are all fine (not blown) and the headlamps/stoplamps work fine. I'm checked the fuses and they seem to be not be blown either. The 'taillamp on' dash light doesn't turn on and the dash doesn't dim/radio and HVAC lights don't come on anymore.
Taking it into toyota after class tonite for a first service and to get it checked out. Anyone have any ideas in the meantime? TIA

I did, but nothing happens until I turn it further to the headlamps on position, in which case; the headlamps turn on... But the tails/plate light/dash light doesn't. Indicators/reverse light works fine and the car drives as usual with brake lights working fine. No rear fog light either... *shrug*

sounds like faulty wiring somewhere, your dealership should be able to work it out...

OK, dealer got it all sussed when I took it in for it's first service. Turned out it was another blown fuse that somehow affected it; but wasn't the actual 'tail/parkers/dash' fuse, and I didn't check all the 30-odd fuses. Turned out to be free too (service and diagnosis). Props to Cornes Toyota Unley for slotting me in. :)

Are you sure it wasn't one of the larger fuses under the hood, rather then the ones under the dash?
Nice car BTW, can you post up some pics? |

if the fuse is ok before you bring it in.. always try disconnecting your battery for about 5 minutes.. system reset..might fix the problem..

The fuse blew for a reason. Did they find the reason? The fuse is there to protect the wiring. For some reason too much currect went through that circuit. Chris
