Light Retainer Relay (85 Toyota Celica)
Jerry
I own an 85 Toyota Celica GTS Convertible. The head and tail lights do not
work and I believe I have traced the problem down to the light retainer
relay but, I am unable to locate this relay. Anyone know where it is???
Any help is appriciated!
Thanks
Jerry

Jerry,
The light control relay (for the tailights) should be located behind
the driver's side kick panel (ahead of the door, next to your ankle,), just
below the wiper control relay.
Good luck.

I found it!!! It was in the trunk :-| Anyway, It was the problem. Now I
just have to find one in a wrecking yard because, a new on is $104.00.
Thanks for your help.

Caution on this, the retractor and the headlight circuit are seperate,
you may have trouble somewhere in the combo switch area if both quit at
the same time, real common on these are the wires break from the
headlights "up and down" movement, but for both to go at the same time,
means there may be trouble elswhere. The retractor relay is located
under the dash on the drivers side, just to the left side of the column,
will be ID'd with "retractor control relay" or something to that
affect...
If a wire broke, it may not go up or dowm, but not usually both, on both
sides.
