so alot of you know about my tc...everything is mint except my fiorst problem!

my right(passanger) side head lights work fine along with the side matkers and the little accent light in the headlight-
the left side(driver) side the headlight works fine but the side marker and accent lights dont work...

i just noticed it last night so i dont know how long its been like that but im not sure if its a fuse? or a wiring harness problem.
has anyone else had this problem or no anyone who has???

so some help would be greatly appreciated!

the parking light and the side markers share the same fuse for both sides.... so i'm out of ideas..

Did you check the plug? They may share the same fuse but I'm sure they dont share the same plug. Maybe the plug is disconnected or corroded or the pins are pushed.

Scion had to replace my wiring on both of them.
It's unreal how cheezy it is!
Mine's an 06 and the crappy wiring connections fell apart as they were held together with electrical tape.
It was like something you'd see on a used car.
I was ____ed.

Connections with electrical tape? that sounds pretty chinsey to me... lamo

^ You think that was bad. I bought my tC from Mazda and I complained that the shift **** was loose so they said go to lunch and pick it up in half an hr. Later on down a few weeks when I was driving it, it loostend up and I was wondering whats going on. It was held on with Gorilla Glue :-\ I called them back to ask them they just got 18K for the car why not fix it right. They said it might have needed more Gorilla Glue

i haven't had any issues with any stock wiring...

uhm... if you think Scions are cheezy... you should perhaps take a look at the "higher-end" cars' wiring...

i have this same problem my drivers side works but the side marker on the passanger side does not any one figure out whats wrong?

SciontCya

I've never seen anything like this on much better cars.
Mine was new - I think it had 1-mile on it and I was the 2nd guy to test drive it.
It's the way it came, and jeezus, that was a shock.
Didn't seem too "Toyota" to me.

insanetc

alright so im goin to check it all out one more time tonuight and see what the hell is goin on if i cant find anything im goin to the dealer...thanks guys!

07_Tc_blacksandpearl

Lmao gorilla glue... haha. Thats pretty damn bad if you ask me. I dont see a dealership doing that with shift *****... But whatever I guess.

check your fuses cause that could be the problem, 2 nights ago i noticed that my passenger light was burned out from my low beams and i thought it was the bulb and then switched the driver side to the passenger and still it didn't turn on so then i thought oh man if it's my harness then i'm f'ed and i checked the fuses after and replaced the one for the passenger although the fuse seemed good but really wasn't and that solved my problem.

07_Tc_blacksandpearl

I guess that could be it too. I've had some sub amp fuses look normal but have an intermittent open in them...

HR_Guy

i'm guessing the connector got pushed down. just take a screw driver and pull it up so it has a contact with the bulb.

insanetc

hr guy..i did that didnt work the prongs werent down i cleane dthem sprayed stuffin them still nothin but i havent had alot of time latey to check fuses.lol..which my luck is just the problem..

now this will be dumb but the fuses for the passanger side side markers and accent light..are those under hood or under dash?

R6isfaster

I don't think there is a fuse for those specifically, sounds like a wiring issue of some sort. Check the grounds.

insanetc

my man..i have checked everything..im an electrician so i looked at the obvious but i beginning to think its a factory harness problem?
