The T5 may be faulty creating a short, try it the other way if you haven't yet, if it throws the climate control lights no matter which way you have the T5 then the bulb is definately faulty.

Okay well i need to buy more T5 globes to eliminate that problem as i have already tried 3 different bulbs, put it into the 2 gear selector ports and put it into different positions.

If the new globes that i will buy tomorrow are not fauly. What could be the cause? we have tried the bulbs, and the fuses. does that leave the wires?

should i replace every fuse?

is it something i could do or would it be best for toyota to do it.

thanks you very much for helping me this far graeme and at this hour aswell.

So your park lights and tail lights don't work? If they don't the fuse is under the glovebox inside the car, Fuse number 10. Tail - 15A, that does all of them.

they work. I meant I took the T5 globes out from the gear selector just to make sure it wasnt interfering with the climate control lights

this is the same image i get after all the steps i have taken: http://tinypic.com/v...=8#.VOXVdS6z7pQ

i have also taken out the T5 globes to eliminate interferance, nothing happens. I might need to take it into toyota?

The HORN fuse in the same box is a 10 amp, you can use that in the DOME to check things

Okay i used the Horn fuse and inserted it into dome fuse. it did not work. neither the climate control lights came on nor the gear selector lights.

I inserted Dome fuse into the horn, and the horn worked. this means that the fuse was not blown? so the problem is the wires?

If that fuse is blown, you could borrow that one on the left side of the box, on the cover its labelled RR FOG, that is a 10 amp and I it is for rear fog lights I think, mine has fog lights but no fuse there so that one should be ok to swap for now.

okay, just looking again at my pictures i dont have the RR FOG fuse. its labelled on the box, but not physically there

Passenger side of the engine bay behind the battery. Black box.

ok i got it.

here is the image box layout: http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=2hz2rrl&s=8

here is the image of the fuse for "Dome" : http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=520sh&s=8

is that correct? I dont have any spare fuses at the moment. Which fuse can i remove from either fuse box and see if it works?

Do you park lights come on outside the car? If the don't then it's the park light fuse, if it's interior lights tho I think the fuse is called 'Dome'

Yes, i just tested it. The brake lights, the reverse lights, indicators, the lights.

Is the dome fuse located in the fuse box? i could not find it.

okay so engine, bay. i need to figure out how to access that.

Hopefully they are on the same circuit, you may have blown the LED to but they have reverse polarity protection in some of them. If the LED works after reversing it, but your climate control lights don't the LED may have blown those bulbs. But don't panic yet, One thing at a time, fix the LED in the shifter, if it still doesn't work use a test light or the old T5 bulb and check there is power at the selector socket, if none then check fuses. Fuses ok and shifter light works but not air con lights then I would say the bulbs have blown, standard T5s are cheap so no big drama.

i tried it reversing with 3 different T5 bulbs with the ones i bought from jaycar. It still doesnt work anymore nor the climate control backlight. Which fuses should i test? I will have to buy new fuses tomorrow and replace all of them as a process of elimination.

If say i replace all the fuses with new ones, and still does not work. Could that mean the wires need to be replaced?

Yeah those bulbs are LED, try taking it out and reversing it, they might work then, you have to have the terminal with the resistor on the postive terminal.

Ok i will try that. Also how does that affect the climate control lights to be not working?

You may have earthed out something in the centre console while inserting the new bulb. Does the bulb you replaced work? Where you changing the bulg to LED? If it was an LED they have to be put in the right way pos/neg or they will blow fuses. If it was a standard bulb then my guess would be 'earthed out', if LED I would look at fuses or even the LED itself may be faulty. Or those lights are on the same circuit and the bulbs have all blown, not sure how to replace or check them.

hi,

it was this T5 Globe: http://www.jaycar.com.au/productView.asp?ID=ZD0382

I did change it whilst my car was on. I did not know there was a pos and neg side. As soon as i inserted it it just turned off. the gear selector and the climate control back blue panel.

Hi,

the interior dashboard (speedometer section) works, clock works, Aircon green light works

except the the gear selectors, the blue led lights for the 3 climate control changes,

here is a picture: http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=o58imu&s=8#.VOXVdS6z7pQ

Hi everyone.

I was changing my gear selector lights with my car on. As i put the new T5 globe the lights turned off. These lights include, the blue LED for the air con, demister, fan speed, and both gear selector lights. Have i blown a fuse? If so how can i access it and change it?

I can access the fuse box under the glove box, but not sure which one, or what type to replace it with.

here is a thread with the picture with the interior lights working. notice the gear selector and the blue led lights for the climate controls are not working: http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=o58imu&s=8#.VOXVdS6z7pQ

here is a thread with the fuse box: http://au.toyotaownersclub.com/forums/topic/18725-lighter-fuse/

can you help me?

Thanks guys

Any speaker is a good speaker ( so to speak )

Recomendations are your good brand names for Sony, Kenwood, JVC, Pioneer.

Lots of the lads here will have mixed opinions, best you can do is goto an audio store that does stereo's and get quotes for the best within your price limit.

Dont be afraid to mix and match, as the same priced speaker in pioneer might be better then the sony, in turn giving you better sound for the same price.

thanks steele, i was also wondering which combination of speakers would be best for me. there should be a consesus on these forums as what sounds good and what doesnt.

Hey Mate

I just did my audio install last week and i ended up going with fusion power plant 6x9's all around. But I'm running them off an amp so not sure how they would go off the head deck but i picked up them amp and the speakers for $600 plus a little bit for the install.

hi chris, just wondering where did u buy it and who installed it and how much? is ur head unit connected to the amp that is followed by the speakers?

thanks tanny

Hi,

i am a newbie. ive been reading some forums on the after market zr6 speakers. I was wondering if there are speakers that has good bass, trebble, clarity and no distortion. let it be known i am no AUDIOPHILE, and i still think my sx6 speakers are pretty good, but i know there are better speakers. i will keep the factory head unit, so what speakers can you recommend for me? also which speaker installer would be good? jb hifi lol? i am in melbourne and my limit is 600 for the front and back speakers + whatever addition for installation.

thanks tanny

Anyone in NSW or VIC willing to do this for me? i am willing to travel, pay for parts and pay good money for this service.
