Hi guys,

I tried to search but in summary, im trying to locate the Interior Light Wire that is underneath the glovebox.

The car is a 05 corolla sportivo.

Any help would be great :)

Cheers

in the 1zz the wire plugs on top of the fuse box above the glovebox (facing the passenger airbag). you can see it by removing the passenger side air vent. i couldn't reach it from there so i just accessed the wires from the passenger A pillar.

if you just want the door switch wire just follow the illuminated door sill install from the group buy section.

OK guys i need some help now...

I tried to tap into the interior light from the passenger "A" pillar as suggested.

As I striped abit of the plastic from the wire, i notice that the interior light no longer recognizes if the door is open or close (usually when the door is open the light turns on vice versa)

If i flick the switch on the interior light to "ON" the light goes on, but when its set to "DOOR", it doesnt do anything (its just off constantly)...

Any help would be great...

Cheers

I have been playing about with this issue of wiring for the interior light as I have installed some strip lights under the

bottom lip of the plastic that makes up the dash which I would like to turn on in the same manner as the dome light.

I found on my 2002 Corolla station wagon a plug on the wiring loom that houses the door switches connection, see photo below.

It was behind the door kick cover on the drivers side and was tied onto the outside of the loom that runs

upwards from the floor level up behind the dash. The door switch connections go through this but the dome does not it seems.

Connections made using s piece copper wire flattened to fit into the connector, soldered to the wires going to the LED's.

I have not as yet found the dome light connection and have looked in both door pillars and around the door kick panels.

I do have the wiring diagram for the 2004 Corolla (pinned in the Corolla section) but it is not correct for my model.

The wiring diagram says the dome light wire goes to a connector as described in another post behind the panel above the glove box but I cannot yet get access

to it to work out with my meter which connector I should or can connect to as yet.

It may well be a problem if you provide too much load to this contact for the dome light as I am pretty sure this is driven from the Integration relay which

most likely has a finite limit to what can be driven.

Have not found the door sill wiring installation as yet but will keep searching.

Obviously more info on this is needed.

Thanks guys for the info.... it was very handy....

With the info you gave me, I ended up fixing the door sensor wire which now recognises when the door opens and closes (interior light goes on/off)...

But now the only thing that has got me stuck is that now when I lock/unlock the car (using the remote on the key), the interior light doesnt go on anymore....

Any other helpful tips? :)

cheers

the interior light goes on with the remote button? it must be an ecu thing or you got an aftermarket alarm?

Hi Chicken :)

The corolla sportivo comes factory like that. When you unlock the car, the interior light goes on...and then when you lock the car, after a few seconds, the interior light fades out... Similar to how "Dutchie101" has his interior lights setup...

I would hazard a guess that in using the incorrect wire you might have damaged a part of the integration relay that deals with the light delay functionality.

      1999 Camry Driver's door locking hatch issue

      It's possible that it could be something fouling or dirt build up, dry, or a broken mechanism, so have a look and give the mechanism some lubrication, most likely though, it'll be the actuator. I found one for a good price on Ebay, $25 delivered: Front Door Lock Actuator Right Side For Toyota Camry 1997-2001 | eBay

      Query about the correct rotors for 2006 ACV40 Camry.

      Hi, I'm looking at a set of front rotors for an ACV40 2006, 2.4L Camry. I got a good price on some RDA's at Sparesbox. However both RDA8112 and RDA7686 show as for my car and I'm wondering what the difference is and if there were changes to the rotors during the model production. So does anyone know which rotor is the correct one? Many thanks in advance.

      It's a simple solution though? Already laying down 60k for a RAV4, so what's another 1k on a phone to make everything work seamlessly? 👍

      Your solution is akin to suggesting that switching to a different car manufacturer would resolve the issue. However, not everyone shares the same enthusiasm for using an iPhone as you do.

      Turboed Corolla Overbuilt?

      that engine will be fine, the rods are the main thing to be concerned about. The 2860 is a decent turbo for the 1zz but in this day and age I'd go for a G25-550. The injectors might be on the small side, we run DW1000's. You need a full length injector, the shorter injectors with adaptors like ID1050x dont fit the 1zz head. You don't need an aftermarket intake manifold, if you do go down that path, avoid the CNC innovations unit, it's garbage. Do the boost control with a MAC valve and control it with the aftermarket ECU of your choice, I use Link stuff on most of my builds with the G4x Storm as the minimum. I also wire a fuel pressure sensor and oil pressure sensor to the ECU in my installs. Use a decent intercooler, the better cores (ARE, PWR, Garrett, Vibrant, Plazmaman, Hypertune) work a lot better than the chinese stuff like Aeroflow. a 450x250-300 fits fairly well with custom end tanks to route the cooler pipes through next to the radiator Don't forget about the clutch and gearbox. These days I like the Uniclutch twinplate, Above 300whp you'll want to think about upgrading the 3rd and 4th gears in the box also with the SSC (Hollinger) gear set and install an LSD of your choice. If you're going to give it a hard time, you'll also want an oil cooler. I like the HKS thermostat type sandwich plates and setrab or mocal oil coolers with -10 speedflow fittings/lines (Chinese AN fittings neck down to a lot smaller internal diameter in their bends, not great for flow) You'll also want to think about brakes, Celica or Sportivo front calipers will bolt on with sportivo discs as a starting point. To have somewhere like Tunehouse do the work you'll want to budget somewhere between 20-40K

      Camry Touring 2010 Fuel consumption 15.2L/100km. Normal?

      I did the mathematics myself regarding costs vs benefits for fuel injector cleaner. I have changed from 91ULP to 95PULP and 98PULP. Price difference can be about 13 -20 cents. Compared to 91ULP, Premium quality fuel should have a better quality additive package designed to have superior engine cleaning capabilities so the engine can perform at their best.

      "Fuel injector cleaner is a waste of money" Only if you by the cheap crap if you use LiquMolly a German Product it does work and you won't waste your Money.
