RobSheffield Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 my car failed on 'sidelights not working with ignition off' i was shown the bit in the book about this, that cars with dim/dip headlights and sidelights fitted should be able to have the sides switched on with ignition off they didnt seem at all bothered when i told them that there are thousands of Supras and that i dont think i had heard it being an issue am i right?

absz Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 is it just fronts not working or rears as well? might sound stupid but if its just the fronts then it just could be your small capless bulbs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suprz_rz Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 You have an alarm fitted, right? Either they have tested the light after the immobiliser has cut off the circuit that is feeding the lights, or the immobilser cut is on the main 12v feed to the ignition barrel. Something wierd like that maybe. Sidelights shold come on no problem with the ign off, so I would first start looking at the alarm cuts. Test this by disarming the immobilser and trying the lights straight away. HTH Rich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobSheffield Posted October 4, 2005 Author Share Posted October 4, 2005 no alarm fitted yet, and its not just the fronts, its both front and rear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suprz_rz Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 Do the side lights at least work ok with the ign on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suprz_rz Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 Do the main lights come on with the ign off? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobSheffield Posted October 4, 2005 Author Share Posted October 4, 2005 all sides etc work with ign on, not checked main lights with ign off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrickTT Posted October 5, 2005 Share Posted October 5, 2005 if you have the lights and ignition on, then turn the ignition off and open the door, all the lights go off. Turn the lights off before you open the door, then switch them on and the sidelights work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Posted October 14, 2005 Share Posted October 14, 2005 rob still has the problem with his lights any ideas guys? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobSheffield Posted October 14, 2005 Author Share Posted October 14, 2005 Cheers rallure ok folks (primarily people like Chris Wilson, who know these cars inside out!) is there any reason why sides wouldnt come on with ign off - like an inline fuse or some such thing the car had an abflug nose, with NO sides in it when it was imported - i have since fitted clear toyota facelift sides but had to 'edit' the wiring if anyone can suggest how i can get front n rear sides to work properly id be very grateful!
