or if someone could just tell me what resistor it is. Any help would be much appreciated! |
Just thought I'd post this up for all potential future people who might have the same issue as me.
Friend's car, 1990 Camry 4-cylinder.
Brake lights worked fine but parking lights would not come on in the tail lights nor the trunk lights. Checked all the fuses, reset all the breakers, but to no avail still.
Reverse, hazards, and everything else worked fine. I did change out a pair of 1157 bulbs (one was burnt out on the driver side tail light) and a 194 bulb in the front.
The above picture is EXACTLY what was wrong with his lamp failure circuit board.
I called the dealer and it was $193 + tax!
So I figured I'd whip out the sodlering gun and as noted above it looks like it's just a wire...so I just plopped a bunch of solder on the connection and whammo everything worked! Only thing is the dash "LIGHTS" warning light is on...so I told my friend to replace the circuit board with an eBay special if the light bugs him.
Wanted to say thanks to everyone who posted on this thread. Very helpful!
