Ok gurus I need your help.
My fiance just bought a 1996 Avalon after her previous car was totaled. Really clean, runs great, and has fewer miles on it than my 2003 camry. Anyhow, recently, within the last week or so her tail lights and gauge lights have stopped working. Her dad is a mechanic, so we took it home and he has been working on it for the better part of a week.
When the car is running, and the headlight switch is in the "on" position her headlights come on. But the tail lights, and the dash lights do not work. They do not come on at all. Her dad thought it might be a short in the headlight switch so he replaced it. Didn't change a thing. He also hooked it up to the computer and its not throwing any codes. Two weeks ago her dad installed a keyless entry on the Avalon, but he completly disconnected that and we are still having the same problem. On a side note it has been really cold here in Oklahoma for the past few weeks, but I can't figure out how that would affect the car.
Anybody have this problem before? Any tips? Suggestions? A magic solution maybe?
