    Default Temperature Lights/Lower console stopped working!?

    Hey guys i just got my tc 3 days ago when i picked it up everything was fine, until one last night i got back in my car and i notice my temperature display and lights around the buttons dont light up. The car is still under bumper to bumper, it would cover electrical right?

    Does anyone know what could have caused this? Where is the fuse located, i disconnected my battery and connected it back and still not comming up....

    Thanks guys..

    take it to the dealer, they should fix that - i dont think there is any reason for that to happen a few days after leaving the lot. once in a while those things just happen. let us know how it turns out.

    Yea i will take it to the dealer. Its still covered under basic warrenty so i will be fine. I love the car otherwise. The other wierd thing is that my tires recommended pressure is 32. But when i put it to 32, the low pressure lights come on... So im going keep them at 34psi to be on the safe side.

    keep it at 32psi and reset the TPS. it's the button in the glove compartment you hold for a second or two after you correctly set the pressure

    Are these the only lights not working. Are the combination gauge lights working? If those aren't, then try the dimmer knob on the gauge. If that is not the case, then you have either a loose connection on the HVAC assembly or it is defective.

    All my other lights are fully functioning. The dimmer works fine. It has to do with the lighting system to the HVAC panel. I checked my fuses and not one was blown, so im hoping its a loose connection, i take it in on Monday and thank godness its still under warrenty.

    Ok so for some reason my lights come on and off for my HVAC display and illumunation, when i push the hazard or ac it comes on once in a while. I am not too sure why it is shorting out, the only other modification was daytime running light module which allows the front two headlight bulbs to come on automatically when i start my car?

    Has anyone ever experienced this problem, i taken it to Toyota and they are ordering a brand new HVAC console for FREE (still under warrenty for another 14 xxx miles), what else can i look at to solve this problem?

    Thanks guys & girls,

    it sounds like you just got that 1 in a million "bad set" cuz i've never heard of that in any car of anyone i know

    as long as you're under warranty, keep taking it to them till its perfect
