Dear stumped,

I just went out and checked my car to be sure: Glove box light comes on when head lights turned on and glove box opened; radio controls and other switches have backlights that come on with headlights and yes the 12 volt cigar socket does work on my 150 GXL....I think you have blown a fuse or have an electrical fault sir,

kind regards, and let us know how you go....

dear stumoed, have just done 12,000km (in just under 3 months), and so far no rattles or squeeks...thank goodness. I have just fitted genuine toyota prado frront seat covers and to be honest, they seem great, nice tight fit and fully airbag compliant etc...anyway, I hope they can fix your dash lights and rattles and squeeks...

I had the same problem. It was a wiring fault in the console. Be careful. The idiotic mechanics do heaps of damage to the console if they are not experienced.

Been there done that.
