Hiya!
So, interesting problem with my Supra that's got me laughing. First some history:
When I first bought the car, the in dash tail light indicator light was on constantly, but all the tail lights seemed to function properly. In another thread, I was told this was likely because I had water in the tail lights, which has turned out to be the case.
Two bulbs blew last night, which I replaced (I'll be picking up some new seals soon to fix the back tail lights). After replacing the bulbs, the tail light indicator light was off! I figured all was good until I noticed the dimmed tail light running lights in back included the middle tail light (ie- when the headlights were on, the tail light was also on, and slightly dimmed), and there was very little difference in brightness between brake lights and running lights.
This morning, when I started her up to go to work, I hit the brakes, and watched to my amazement as not only the tail light indicator light came on, but the dash lit up and dimmed down as if I had turned on my headlights at the same time!
What on earth would cause something like that? Where should I start looking, and what should I check?
