Lights Not Turning On.

[edward84]

Hi Guys

 

I'm hoping you can help me. I have a Corolla Conquest 2007 and the lights have started to fail.

 

The Dash lights and park lights are not coming on. for about 2 days they would take about 30 seconds to turn on but now nothing.

 

I have tried looking for the problem but I cannot see any obvious problem.

 

Doe anyone know where I can find a Diagram of all the wiring so I can start testing with a multimeter?

 

Cheers

Edward

If this is a new shape corolla they have a common fault in the dimmer switch stalk, can get it replaced under out of warranty assistance.

Thanks 19914afc

I know its the late 2007 modem. If that helps at all.

2007 was the break point I think they were just getting rid of the old ones and then got this shape.

If you bring it into a dealer if it is that shape they should be able to fix it with out of warranty assistance as it has been found to be a common problem.

Thanks again 19914afc

 

I'll give them a call and see what they say.

yeh i work for toyota its a common problem the terminals in the stalk wear prematurely

[19914afc]

Yeah we've had a fair few come in.

Thanks guys. I went in to my dealership today who confirmed the model of my car does not have this defect. I've got it booked in to be looked at next week when I have money for it to be done.

But in the mean time I would like to try and solve the issue myself, would anyone know where I can find the wiring diagram for the car?

[19914afc]

You may be able to find a wiring diagram online but there are no paper covers for new car repair manuals its all online now (need a password to acess them), and I don't think there is really any way that you can fix it even for now as it would require you to pull the stalk out and change contacts. I would just deal with it for the time being.
