so everything else at the rear of the car work ie blinkers, stop and reverse lights just not the tail lights?
Hey guys, got a bit of a mystery here, I'm not much of an electrician though.
Car - Toyota Corona Avante RT142
motor - 22RE
use - Hack
problem - Dash lights don't work anymore and tail lights don't work anymore. Happened at the same time, I don't think it is either fuse or a relay. I think it is quite obviously related. The clock doesn't dim either. Headlights still work.
So, when you turn the lights on for night several things should come on.
Headlights - working
Dash lamp - broken
Clock dim - broken but clock still works
Tail lights - broken
occurs/started when - I pulled the dash off
Any help or ideas would be hugely appreciated
Thankyou.

Deleted my post Now I have re-read what you wrote.
didn't fit a new stereo did you? lol
Only thing I can see it being is the fuse for the tail/dash lights.
that's correct macca, the double filament globe for the tail/stop is sweet too.
nah no new stereo... i've checked all the possible fuses, there is no "dash" fuse that i can but the tail fuse is ok. and checked all other possibilities. the dimmer is still connected aswell.
check the headlight switch. This used to happen with my old ae86 and when i pulled the headlight switch apart some of the solder was dry and loose. I redid the solder and never had the problem again

yeah next would be switch faulty or just bad contacts or dry solder join in switch, also the wire and or pin may be dodgey in plug to the switch
thanks ill be sure to try that out
cerby when you had that problem with your 86 did the headlights work still though?
yeah headlights and brake lights worked but not tail lights (ie not the ones that come on when braking) or the dash.
