The car in question is a 2003 corolla station wagon and the lights on the gear shift (ie PRN123) are not working. I think I have pulled out every fuse inside and above the glove box and inside the engine compartment but can't find a blown fuse.

Any polite suggestions on how I can fix the problem for my little darling.

Isuspect the problem is not the fuse, but a miserable globe that needs changing.

OK Col,

I have just spent 10 minutes trying to get the facia/panel off, but no luck, do you know any way I can get it off without damage.

Thanks Boo Boo

Tell the service guys at Toyota about it at the next service..
They know how to remove things quickly without breaking stuff...
It it was a fuse other things would stop working also..

Boo Boo
Had a similar problem with our 2003 Corolla Levin wagon, where the clock light failed.In replacing this globe i had to first remove the panel around the auto stick which was as simple as opening and removing the bottom tray door on the centre of the dash then putting hand under the front edge of the the concerned panel and working the clips undone,this then allowed me to then unclip the centre dashpanel,i can't remember any screws whilst doing this .Theglobe for the clock was about $5.00 from toyota.
Now if only i could work out getting to the globe behind the DRIVE indicator on the instrument panel on our 90s PRADO.
Hope this helps
Russell

Rags

I might have a go your way, although the problem is in the consol between the seats.

It might be easier to pull s side panel out.

Although I now have to figure out what fuse I have put baxk in the wrong place as the blinkers don't work now, never a dull moment around here.
