Thanks guys for responding. Let me answer a few of your questions. I am using a volt meter, 12 plus volts not running-14 volts running. I did remove the bulbs when checking voltage.I'm not sure what terminal #'s are. Is there a way to by-pass the rheostat?
I'm a newbie here. I just purchased a 1997 4Runner Limited in great condition. I failed to check the tail lights when purchasing. No tail lights and replaced fuse under the hood.Tail lights work but no dash lights. The push in bulbs for the heat/ac panel and the ash tray are easily accessible...
