91 Camry, Lights on indicators not working
Title pretty much says it all. I have a 91 Camry DX sedan, and I've gotten most of it restored, but the lights on indicators don't work, so I have to be careful to turn off the lights or I come back to a dead battery. Though I am used to it for the most part, this is annoying, as you can guess.
What would I look for in terms of repairing that circuit? Thanks in advance for any help that you can offer. |
The instrument console, climate system lights, etc? If so, do any lights work?
How about taillights and glove box light? |
Hi, yes, all of the lamps work. I see "Lights" when I turn the car on, so I don't have to replace the bulb. The problem is, it's not activating when I have the lights on.
The car isn't in bad shape. The engine was replaced two years back, the battery last February, and according to the local Toyota dealer who did a full diagnostic for me, I need to replace the muffler and an EGR pipe, and there's a slight power steering leak, but otherwise everything seems functional. The lights all work, interior and exterior, cruise control, power locks, power windows, A/C, all good. I just replaced the resistance coil so the A/C works on all levels, not just high. Tail lights are good, trunk lights are good, and I even replaced the license plate frame lights on the back, so they are good. Not sure about the glove box, hadn't thought to look. I left the lights on for about 4 hours last night, but was able to start the car up this morning just fine, so I would say the electrical system is in good shape. I am thinking it might be a fuse, but I don't know where the fuse box is. |
The lights (are) on indicator light?
You sure the car has one? None is listed. |
I can photograph it. Yes, it's on the right side at the bottom, three under the oil light indicator. It might just tell me if a light is out, but it would seem to be what I think it is. Are there cars without the funactionality to warn you if the lights are on when you exit the vehicle?

Great!
There is an indicator if a tail or brake light is out and a high beam indicator. There are cars without a warming light. The next generation Camry had no warming system. |
I checked elsewhere, and there should be a chime. It was said that it's part of the integration relay, though everything else covered by that circuit works fine (radio, dome lights, power windows, etc.). But at $150, I will probably just have to commit to muscle memory the act of switching off the lights every time I turn off the car.

Buy a add on buzzer from an auto parts store.
