So ive had an issue recently with my headlights, it only affects my headlights, not the tail lights. But when the left turn signal is turned on, or the turn indicator lever thing has pressure towards the steering column applied to it (i.e pressure traveling down the lenght of the shaft) the lights turn off, or flash until it is nudged and they turn back on, its not a big problem, but im a little tired of people getting mad thinking im clicking my lights at them... any thoughts?

Also how can I take the panel off of the steering column so I can see if its a bad connection, I dont want to break it, so ive left it alone..

 

the only thing i can help you with is there are two possibly three bolts on the bottom of the steering column, and turn the steering wheel all the way to the left and then the right, each direction you should see a screw, its been a while since i took mine off so i might be slightly wrong.

 

Sounds like you have worn contacts in the switch. Needs to be replaced. Lucky for you it is fairly simple in our Toyotas.

 

alright! thanks ill try pulling it apart this afternoon and see whats up
