Help plz :)

[FLIP K1DD]

um ok so ...

my interior gauge cluster lights + front parking (orange markers) + rear parking lights (orange markers) + license plate lights arent working when i flip the switch

they all work and turn on fine when i use the lock/unlock function on my viper alarm remote..so i figure no blown bulbs/fuses..

but they just dont switch on when i tell them to with the headlight switch/dildo thing on the side of the steering wheel

any help plz...i cant drive at night without these parking lights and im a graveyard worker

The switch is probably bad. Had the same thing happen to me. My lights were all on, i signaled a right lane change, and the dash lights went out. I drove it for 2 days in the dark like that before i rigged a little switch up. Basically all you do is jump a little wire to ground, i just put a switch in that jumper.

Or you could spend $100 on a new switch from the dealer and take your steering wheel off... I'll be doing that eventually but for now my little $3 fix from radio shack is working fine.

Check Haynes or free repair guide on Autozone (w/ registration) on diagnosis procedure.

did you ever find out what was wrong?

Bump, did you ever find out what the problem was?? If it is in fact the steering column switch, contact Gabe, he's parting out a gen 3 Camry and will probably be able to provide you with that switch:
