It's the like a spinny switch that adjusts the dimness of the gauge cluster, i believe it's right under the cup holder. I accidentally hit it one time and the clock light would go off when i turned on the headlights, i thought something was wrong. It took me taking it to autozone and a little experimenting.

Most of the European ones do not have a dimmer rheostat like our US ones do.

What year is the Yaris?

And, does it have the digital or analog instrument cluster?

OK - So definitely no dimmer rheostat.

Check the 7.5A MET, 7.5A PANEL1, and 7.5A PANEL2 fuses all of which are in the fuse panel that is under the bottom of the dashboard.

Yes - If your car is left hand drive it is to the left of the steering wheel and and it is under the bottom of the dash, so you look up from the floor to see the cover, which has the labels.

What parts of the instrument cluster are still working properly?

Everything works as it should be,only this right corner,where the clock,trip computer and the MPG shows,that part is out of light.When I took apart the cluster,I notice that this particulary part containes small LCD display which is attached to this connector.And behind that is small circuit board that controls it.I did not see any bulbs.Maybe it is an electrical failure,or something like that.

OK. It does sound like a failure of a portion of the cluster's circuitry. If you have the owners manual for you car, take a look to make sure that it is not simply a case where you can some how turn off those items.

I have both owner's and repair manual,and I can't see nowhere that problem.
Altought I've downloaded the owner's manual,and it's only for US and Canada models.European couldn't find nowhere.I need it exactly for digital cluster,anything else is useless.

I have parts of the European service manual, but it does not indicate being able to turn off the clock. Sometimes the owners manual has some additional information on those kinds of "features".

Other than one of the connectors having been loose, I can't think of anything else that you can easily check. At this point, if you can find someone with another Yaris with a digital cluster, you could try swapping the two to verify that the problem is with the actual cluster.

I will try with this connector,but not today.I will have to wait til weekend.
We don't have much Yaris in my town,so the second option falls thru.
By the way,I forgot to tell you,there is a smaller connector that connects speedo gauge with the hausing,or something like that.Anyway I will try to do something.Thank's again.
