I wanted to take car of two simple things yesterday...now my car is a fuckin mess.
#1: the indicators on the left (trac-off, oil, engine, etc) only go on when it's a really hot day and my car has been sitting in the sun. Yeah, real weird but this is very consistent. On a normal evening, I'll go to start my car and none of those lights will go on...I always turn trac off but that doesn't go on either. On a hot day, everything works peachy.
#2: a bulb that's behind one of the climate control button sets is out. It is the backlight for 3 buttons.
So, I take the dash apart with little problem and figure out that I can make problem #1 go away by just putting random pressure on the connector behind the circuit board. This is not an actual fix so I give up on that one. Then I go and find the culprit bulb in problem #2 and take it to toyota. They ordered me a new one ($7) which will be here next week. The new problems begin when I put it all back together:
I go to adjust my mirrors and they don't work anymore...yes it is plugged in? My airbag light on the right set of lights is now permanently on!! These are the two things I can't explain. On top of that I still have problems #1 & #2 and another climate control bulb went out.
Help with any of these issues driving my up the wall would be much appreciated. Thanks.
