Is it possible that "your dodgy spotlight" inadvertedly diametrically oposed the frequency of light :?:

Thus, cancelling out the frequency modulation of light, by which the Theory of Time relies :shock:

Therefore, TIME may in fact be "not happening" for you :idea:

Could be handy for making long trips in a blink of the eye :shock:

Hold on - there goes my doorbell..... :roll:

It's not you at the door is it :shock: :shock: :shock: :D

Alternatively - check those pesky little fuses, only visible when you open your glove box (on the right) :mrgreen:

My Hilux workshop manual says it's on a black and white wire via a 5amp INTERNAL fuse :wink:

Otherwise you may have blown the wire off the back of plug :idea: :wink:

Most Hilux's have a way of self healing...

Every problem and noise I ignored after a while went away...

The important thing is anyTIME is Hilux TIME...

Check the harness/plug where they all meet up ... may have a fried plug...

We have the same colour Lux's if you stick a silver raider decal on the side... it will change the look totaly...
