Hi all,
Wonder if anyone has had this problem with their car and any possible solutions:-
I have a 2000 micra K11 and have recently developed an electrical problem.
When the lights are on the dash board/instrument lights occasionally dim slightly along with the headlights and the battery warning light comes on. I have noticed that if I tap the square digital odometer display below the speedo all lights return to usual brightness.
This has only recently started to happen and it only lasted for a minute or so, however tonight the battery warning light and instrument lights have remained dim which surely puts me in danger of a flat battery.
Where is the problem likely to lie? Please dont tell me it's a dash out joby!
Thanks for any assistance,
Steve
PS- My battery is the original but has never given me any trouble - even when left standing for a few weeks.
