  • Dashboard Headlight Indicator not working {SOLVED}

    Hi all,

    The little green light that shows when the headlights are turned on has stopped working. The high beam indicator is fine, as are the rest of the dash lights. Wondering if anyone can shed some :idea: on what might be the problem & solution. :?:

    Cheers

    Bear

    PS by the way, I first noticed the problem just after replacing the battery. :?

    Could either be the signal wire to the dash panel not giving a signal - likely because of a faulty relay somewhere down the circuit. Would need a wiring diagram to adequately fault find this i would think. Alternately, could be the actual LED on the dash panel has failed - this being the case, because they are surface mounted - unless you are a genius with a soldering iron and have a steady hand - a good electronics repairer would probably be able to do a replacement job...

    There are a few threads on how to get the dash panel out and open it up, it would at least allow you access to the connection plugs where you could check the input signals, even if you cannot repair the board...

      Thanks Matt, I do hope its not the LED itself! I had sort of been hoping it might be something to do with the disconnection of the battery - we had the usual window resetting issues. However, if the dash panel needs pulling out ... I might just have to live with it. I know little about the mechanicals and even less about electricals!

        The green light on my Prado comes on when the fog lights are turned on, have you got the fog light switch on?

        Is it possible that you have had the fog light switch on without realising and accidentally turned it off whilst replacing the battery?

          Thanks Justo, you have just made my day.

          ops: ops: ops: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: ops: ops: ops: ops: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

          Yep, seems that is what happened. ops: . But it gets a little more embarrassing! I did not even realise there were fog lights or a fog light switch ... I thought those little lights at the bottom were just on all the time. Anybody who thinks I'm a fool is certainly no idiot. :shock: :shock:

            No worries, just happy you got my post before you started pulling the dash apart.
