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.

That is the one that I have. I just disassembled mine and hooked it up on my test bench to experiment with it. The clock and odometer are a separate assembly from the rest of the instrument cluster. Does anything at all display on the clock area of yours?

No nothing.Did you find something that can be replaced,or behind that LCD is a small electronic board.Maybe there is a malfunction,somethin broken or burned?

The small LCD (which is actually a vacuum fluorescent display) for the clock and odometer is a separate assembly, so that could be replaced as it may be the bad part. There are three separate circuit boards - The large main on, the one that the speedometer display is mounted to, and the "Core" board, which snaps to the back of the large board. The Core board contains the primary processor for the cluster and it has the EEPROM where the odometer data is stored. Unfortunately you can't buy the boards separately from Toyota, but if you can track down one from a wrecked Yaris, which has a cluster with the same part number, then you can either swap the clock/odometer display onto yours or you can swap your core onto it.

Yeah,but used clusters cost over 100$ on ebay,so it is a bit expensive.My dad is a electrician,so i wil disassemble the cluster and give him.Maybe he can find the problem.Anyway thank you for your response,i will notify you if i find something.

I am facing the same issue and will try to replace the clock from a donor cluster. In order to test the "new" cluster, can somebody point me the pinout of the connectors to be able to switch it on and see if the clock works?
It is an European Yaris, and part-number is 83800-0D660 Quote:

It is only necessary to connect, pins 1 (12V) and 24 (GND) to power the unit outside of the vehicle. Now my plan is to swap the clock/temperature display of both units. |

That black spot does appear to be a normal part of how they manufacture the VFDs.
Since it is custom I can't find a data sheet for it. It would have been good if I could so that we could take some comparative measurements to determine if that is what is bad on yours.
