dave valiant Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 I have been driving my 90 Toyota pickup this summer since the air in it works and my GL's doesn't. I started it up the other day just because I don't want to let it sit without running for long periods of time. When I did I bumped the front dome light switch and it came on. That isn't so unusual except it has never worked in the past. Ever. When I first got the car half of the dash lights didn't work and then one day they all did and still do. I am kind of scared that this mysterious all of the sudden things work thing isn't a gift from God for my good behavior. I am a little scared that it could mean something bad is going on in the electrical system. anyone ever experience anything like this with an EA82 car?

nkx Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 maybe it just wasnt getting a good ground, and the bump knocked it into place. my experience has shown me that electronic things are masochists. the problem is usually nothin a slap or 2 cant fix.

Turbone Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 Do you keep a fire extinguisher in the car? Its probably just a grounding problem. The dome lights are always having the contacts crud up and it just takes a good twist or wiggle of the bulb to make it work. Sometimes the contacts can be cleaned up with a emery board.
