    Hello:ulb
    Ok my high beam indicator in my dash is not working, I pulled the bulb and checked it and it is fine, so I did a voltage test and I am only getting 1.5 volts at the light terminals, I should be getting 12 volts. Is there a wiring diagram someone has so i can see if it is the dash display itself or that I could trace back to the switch to see if it is something in the headlight switch? or does anyone know what it could possibly be. other than that, everything else works. I could probe around in there but I dont want to short something out plus I dont feel like spending 2 hours trying to figure out which wire is which.

    Thank you,

    Toyota has one. It's very detailed and extremely helpful to have. If you buy it in book form (by phoning 800 622 2033 and ordering #EWD414U) it should run you about $47, but then you'd have to wait for delivery. If you're in more of a hurry, you can spend $15 on a two-day subscription at techinfo.toyota.com and download it right away.

    If I do the subscription, am I able to get pretty much the same information as I would get if I bought the service books on ebay for 165?

    Yes if not more. Plus, I you should be able to print it for use after the time is up.
