Question:

Is this an electrical/wiring problem in my '89 Toyota?

A couple of weeks ago the e-brake light and another light in our '89 Toyota Celica came on the dash and started flashing even though the e-brake wasn't on. Then a day or two later my husband was turning a corner and gunned it and when it got to the point where he needed to shift the dash lights and headlights and radio all went out. Everything but the headlights came back on within seconds. Now the e-brake light the other light next to it stay on; the break lights, tail lights, fog lights and turn signals all work, but the headlights won't come on and the radio cuts out when the rpm gauge gets to the point where we need to shift. My husband checked the fuses and none were blown. Is this an electrical or wiring problem or could it be something else?

Answer:

This sounds like an OBD-II problem. Can you take your car to a shop where they will check the computer for diagnostic fault codes. It may be that you have a faulty relay or something simple like a burned out light bulb.
