Shinjinkiru Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 You guys know the light that comes on for your tailight at night. I think it's called dimmers? For some reason mines stop working at of nowhere. I drive a 98 GS300 4 door. I checked the fused to see if anything was blown, but everything seem to be good. I'm pretty sure it's not my taillight. It has to do with the wire or some sort. Maybe some malfunctioning going on? The turn signal brakes and everything else works, I just dont have any dim light to drive at night. Someone please help me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuyTelefunken Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 They're commonly called running or parking lights. Check the front and side markers. If they are working, I'd use a test lamp at the rear socket to check for power at the individual lamp. I know this may sound simple, but did you try different bulbs? There is an indicator for bulb failure on the dash that should light up if you have a bulb(s) out. The TAIL (tail lamp) fuse is in the driver's side footwell fuse panel, under the dash.

The indicator light for bulb failure...is it green, a circle w. little dashes coming off it? This comes on when I turn my lights on...and I know I have a High beam out...so based on your post above thats what it is telling me? :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuyTelefunken Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 The green light that comes on with the headlights is just a reminder that your lights are on. The lamp failure indicator is on the left side of the instrument cluster and is yellow. The lamp failure system only monitors rear lamps.

The Fuse that said "Tail" I changed to another 10A fuse, and no It didn't blow when I put a new one in. The fused I believe was called the tail lamp fuse.
