toyotasuprauk Posted March 28, 2005 Share Posted March 28, 2005 I recently had all the lights in my Rh panel go out. Looks like it was the dry joint thing as when I pulled the dash off and wiggled the plug they all came back again. I did exactly the same thing this weekend, all working again now.

250horses Posted March 28, 2005 Share Posted March 28, 2005 Just unscrew the 5 screws under the cowling and the whole top section come out - 2 minute job Theres 2 muliti-plugs on the left to disconnect and one one the right.... Presto you are now holding your top cowling, warning light assy. and bulb assy. in your hand really is a piece of cake to get to for investigation, checking with meters for dry joints or just plain, "wiggling" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUPRALOOPY Posted March 29, 2005 Author Share Posted March 29, 2005 got all the lights working apart from the triangle in the rev counter how do you take the rest of the dash out to get to the rev counter? looks like two screws and then are there clips or does it just pull off???? thanks for dry joint tip thats what it was! resoldered and working fine, i also found out i had an abs light so i must have abs!!! :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
250horses Posted March 29, 2005 Share Posted March 29, 2005 Thats a bit harder: unscrew gear knob pull up plastic area around gear knob with top cowling off look left, you will see a cross head screw unscew this and the entire stereo/heater plastic surround will pull off do same to rh ignition key side (another screw) no need to pull this part entirely off, can be left loose as access to dials now poss. pull off plastic dial surrounds over speedo and rev counter you will now be able to uncrew the speedo and rev assy carefully pull out (2 multi plugs to disconnect) you will see the back of rev counter where triangle bulb is fitted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted March 29, 2005 Share Posted March 29, 2005 unscrew gear knob pull up plastic area around gear knob with top cowling off look left, you will see a cross head screw unscew this and the entire stereo/heater plastic surround will pull off do same to rh ignition key side (another screw) no need to pull this part entirely off, can be left loose as access to dials now poss. pull off plastic dial surrounds over speedo and rev counter you will now be able to uncrew the speedo and rev assy carefully pull out (2 multi plugs to disconnect) you will see the back of rev counter where triangle bulb is fitted To be pedantic but only so as not to confuse GEEZA : "pull off plastic dial surrounds over speedo and rev counter" should be done before undoing the left and right hand panels. "carefully pull out (2 multi plugs to disconnect)" That should be 3 multiplugs Sorry to be picky Charlie mate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake Posted March 29, 2005 Share Posted March 29, 2005 ahh i have an auto and that auto stick looks like a right pain the arse to remove? or is it???? You don't need to remove the auto shifter. Just put it in D so you can get the plastic surround over it. BTW, Be careful when removing the plastic gear lever surround, the clips that locate it are easily broken off.

imi Posted April 2, 2005 Share Posted April 2, 2005 Most Car Manuals have a pic of the instrument panel labelling all the associated dash lights. I am assuming that the Supra Manual has the same information and pic. Can anyone post a pic of the PRE-FACELIFT supra instrument cluster guide.

Boomer Posted August 14, 2005 Share Posted August 14, 2005 As with other members I picked up my Supra and noticed that there were "gaps" where I thought there should be additional warning lights. Having stripped out the upper panel and removed the bulbs / assembly I took some pics to let me know what should be there. These pictures are from a '93 TT GZ. Hope they prove useful....
