Side lights wont turn off! - Toyota Yaris Forums

I cant remember what it the label is, but there is only one 50A fuse. Pulling the connector off of the light switch/stalk??

Remove the lower steering column cover to get at the connector. There are two screws that you get to by turning the steering wheel half way in each direction, and then a third by the tilt mechanism. Then, with the 50A fuse back in, unplug the connector from the base of the headlight switch to see if the lights stay on or off.

Thank you very much for all of your help with this, and your quick replies! I will try this later!

Hi again. I unplugged the connector, and put the fuse back in, and surprisingly (to me anyway) the lights were on again! :( So I am now thinking alarm/ECU related fault?

It certainly is a strange fault, and maybe not the cheap and quick fix I was hoping for!! :/

Do you have a factory or aftermarket alarm?

Yes there is one fitted. Not sure what make or model though, or whether it is an alarm fitted by Toyota? Do you think that's the only plausible explanation now?

I believe so. I would try to find it and pull its harness (or give it a good slap) to see if the issue goes away. It is likely that it has a relay where the contacts have stuck.
