Outer Limits 4x4 Board

have a 60 series cruiser while wiring up relay for driving lights earthed a contact there bit of a spark on the relay relay ok , now no tail lights or dash lights ,,,fuses are ok ... have i burned the headlight stork ???any help appreciate ,

check the relay may have cooked it

toyota s in general head lights switch earth and not positive and if you have wired it up wron you could have cause a bad back feed best way to find out is to undo what you have done and see if they work and also check every fuse including the ones under the bonnet as it could of cooked any fuse when it back feeds

where is the dash light relay located , ? cant seem to find it

Start with the basics, try the tail light fuse first, then check you fuses on your headlight relay. Dashlights share the same fuse as taillights just incase you didn 't know.

Sorry just reread, I would of thought the relay would be down on the rh side of the inner guard, or up on the lh side? I know on my hilux the relay has it's own fuses which I have blown once before.

all the actual headlamps are working and driving lights also , just as mentioned the dash lights and the tail lights on the fritz , the relay i fitted looks fine , its a 5 pin new era relay , two fuses there ok , did the 60 series have a dash light relay ??? someone said they did ?? there are no relays i can find , well if its not the fuse ill check again i have probably burned the actual light switch

No dashlight relay, check taillight relay.

As previously mentioned, Toyota's use a negative switching system on the headlights. That is, there is constant power to the headlights, the switch is on the negative or earth side.

Do you have a 60 or 61/62 series? that is single 7" round or dual 6x4 rectangular lights?
