Wiring Troubles

[ElmerFudd]

Well now that i got my truck lifted and it's finally all back together i'm noticing that all the sudden my door buzzer for the key in ignition doesn't work and my dome light doesn't come on when the door is ajar. I've been looking around for a fuze cause my speedometer and tach lights aren't working either?? Whenever I can get my hands on a camera i'll post up some pics of the truck. Thanks for any input!

umm well i removed my buzzer and now the dome light doesn't work with the door open...the buzzer is like right by the top of the brake peddal (black box about 3"x3"x1.5") and it slides off of a flat piece of metal...on my '86 anyways

[ElmerFudd]

thanks man, i betcha that's what it is cause i've been diggin around under there... i'll give it a try

[ElmerFudd]

Yeah well it turns out the dome light fuse opens the circuit for the dome, buzzer, and clock. Fixored!

[ElmerFudd]

Hrrmmm... Since I ripped that dash apart new problems keep arising... Does anyone have any suggestions for my tach and speedometer cluster lights not working? because all the ones around it work just fine :S! Is it possible that I blew the bulbs all at once for these two gauges?

Any Public Library in your area like the Alderney Gate Public Library in Dartmouth an the Spring Garden Rd Public Library in Halifax would have the Factory service manual,Haynes,Chiltons,Mitchells,Clymers,Bentley and Toyota repair books.

There is also free AutoZone service manuals at:

2003 Toyota Tacoma Factory Service Manual:

http://fsm.afraid.org/
http://www.junglecode.com/toyota/tacoma/2003_fsm/

FSM (factory service manual)can be acquired in several ways:

Toyota Material Distribution Center
750 West Victoria St
Rancho Dominguez/Compton,CA 90220-5538
USA
Ph:1-800-622-2033 (outside CA)(M-F: 7-5 PST)
Ph:1-800-443-7656 (inside CA)
Ph:1-310-818-4630 (in or outside CA)
Speak to Beverly or Deloris
http://techinfo.toyota.com/public/main/mdc.html
http://www.4crawler.com/4x4/FSM.shtml

1)buy a used one off e-bay
2)some Toyota dealerships may give you one or sell it for $10-20 (used) as most Toyota dealerships don't repair many old Toyotas and no longer need the service manual
3)some public libraries sell their old books as they are not in demand any longer
4)some free buy & sell classified papers,websites and bulletin boards may have some used ones for sale
5)some junk yards may have one laying around
6)some Toyota specialty garages may have one laying around and no longer use it as the vehicle may be too old and those mechanics probably have so much experience that they could publish their own factory service manual with corrections and "real world repair tips"
7)if someone has the FSM maybe they could scan all of the pages and post it on a site for all of us to download or view.

I'm more less looking for a trouble-shooter. Just in hopes someone had the same problem with a simple fix. Thanks

Elmer,i blew both those lights after screwing around with the dash,unfortunately,the only way to fix them is to take the entire thing apart again.Take the rubber cover off the bulb,put the bulb in your pocket an'go to Crappy Tire.you can match them up there.The rubber cover dims the light and gives that green look to you dash light.I replaced mine with those stupid blue "mood lights"

[ElmerFudd]

Lol, alright thanks man, well looks like it'll be coming apart, and it should be a good time to replace my heater control panel light as well.
