Stuff not working - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #43529 5 posts Started by trdproven
Well, I was trying to figure out why my speedometer was jumping around so for what it worth, I checked the fuses to try to reset the ECU as I read online. This morning my cabin light, my clock, radio, door lights don't work. My gauge cluster now will only turn on if I turn on the car fully. Not sure if messing with the fuses did anything but I checked all of them and none were burnt from under the hood and inside the cabin's fuses. I mean what the hell happened. I don't think checking all the fuses would have done anything. I mean thats what they are for to diagnose. Do you guys think a fuse is bad even though they don't look bad? I hope its not a relay cus they were just working before I checked the fuses. I mean I researched here but the issues seem somewhat different. Anyone got pics of their fuse boxes?

yeah some fuses wont look bad from teh middle area, but the area where the plastic and the metal of the fuse can be burnt and make the fuse unusable. i had that problem with my stereop/cig lighter fuse. hope all gets better
did you check the fuses using a test light? or did you just look at it?

Actually I found the problem, the fuse in the middle of where under the hood side, where it looks like it has a slash was the problem. So it works now, the only problem I have left is my overdrive keeps blinking on and off so my car either gets out of gear or downshifts on its own, and my speedometer jumps around crazy.

I had the exact same problem with the fusible link. It seems like a box with a slash through it means nothing goes there, lol.

New Toyota project coming soon...
