Rav 4 headlight wont work

99-2000 Toyota Rav 4 five door auto headlights have stopped working. The side lights and rears work but the courtesy flash, main and full lights dont. Also full beam blue indicator not working.I have checked all fuses ( that I can find) all ok and tested the headlamp relay with external 12volts seems also ok though the relay not activating when in car. Running out of ideas. Can anyone help?

2005 Dodge durango V8 has red lights flashing in dash and headlights flashing, can it be an issue with the alarm which is not used but somehow became enabled!!!

You need to connect the battery. Lock and unlock the car with the remote. That will cause the ani-theft to stop flashing the lights. It does, however, stop after 3 minutes. That is, until you disturb the vehicle again. Then it starts the 3 minutes again. You need to get the remote out, and lock the doors and unlock the doors. Done.

I have a 2007 rav 4 the engine light will flash and the rav feels rough the engine or trans won't shift then it stops and works fine

The flashing check engine light means there is a serious problem with the performance of the engine. You need to get the computer scanned for trouble codes next.

Dash and tail lights stopped working on my daughters 1991 toyota celica gt. the fuse has been checked and replaced. it was ok. the headlights were recently changed. is it true the dash and tail lights run...

If the tail lights and the dash lights stopped working and the tail light and the panel lighting fuses are both o.k. and you can find no other blown fuses then the problem is most likely the headlight switch.

1998 toyota rav 4. Right side low beam headlight doesn't work. Hi beam on that side does. Checked fuses, they appear OK, and tried 2 other headlights. Left side hi and low working fine.

sounds like there is a broken wire. the only advise i can give you is to follow the hot wire for that light untill you find the break in the wire.
