You have some torn/stretched wiring somewhere between the light and the radiator support, or a blown bulb now. Check for moisture in the lens as it may have broken the lens or the seal. if this happens lights will blow after a short time after replacing. the marker light wire is brown and the turn sig. wire is green. check the ground too. Good luck

2007 f150, no brake light or turn signal on passenger side. Running lights work. Changed bulb, then socket. No change.

Use a 12v test light to make sure you are getting power to the bulb socket. If so, you can say it's a bad socket. If not, you need to get power to the bulb to expect it to light.

Front wheel alignment on EW-54

Hi,

the tire wear can also be due to a tire not having enough air within itself. So, you might want to use a pressure gauge to check all of the air-pressure values for each tire and pump then to an equal pressure if they are not the same. Then, you might work with a local mechanic to get your golf car tires aligned properly.

Thank you.

2006 Highlander.A few weeks ago the O/D Off button stopped working and the light don't come on on the dash. Reason? and Fix?

This indicator light is used to display the working status of the automatic overspeed gear. When the indicator light is on, it means that the O/D gear is locked. At this time, the acceleration capacity is improved, but the fuel consumption increases.
If the indicator light is not on, the possible fault points include: gateway damage, ELV electronic steering lock damage, key damage, comfort CAN line failure, drive CAN line failure, anti-theft function failure, steering column control unit failure, instrument control unit failure, and There may be strong signal interference from the outside world. You need to go to a professional repair shop to repair your toyota highlander or buy a new car, such as toyota calya.

How do i turn off the low tire pressure warning light? I changed the flat tire.

The low tire pressure light gets a signal from each tire's (including the spare) sending unit in the valve stem. If all five of the tires are reinflated to the proper pressure the light will shut its self off. If the sensor was damaged when the tire was replaced it should be replaced with a new one.

Driver side signals only work when headlights are OFF

What may have happened is either the headlights wiring or the parking lights wiring somewhere along the wiring fused to the left turn signals wiring. Depending on if the turn signals go on when you put the parking lights on or the headlights on.

If the signals come on when you turn on the headlights than you only need to locate the light green wire that comes off the left turn signal harness.

Next follow that wire the entire way back to the firewall looking for another wire fused to that wire as you go.

If there are no signs of this you need to continue looking on the other side of the firewall all the way back to the turn signal and hazard flasher unit which is a black box that connects to a black harness located next to a grey harness behind the knee bolster.

But if the signals come on when you turn on the parking lights than you will also need to check the wiring from the rear left signal and follow that light green wire all the way back to the turn signal and hazard flasher unit.

This should fix your problem, but if not than your problem may lay within the the wiring between the turn signal/hazard switches and the turn signal and hazard flasher unit.

Also you may have a burnt circuit in the junction block. This block is where the light green from the rear left signal and front left signal meet. Don't have a description but if you cannot find it let me know and I will go out to the yard and look myself and let you know.
