hoping you guys can help me out. this little switch has been driving me crazy since we got the car.

when i switch it on, it beeps for about a second then stops... and makes no other sounds, lights or anything happen. and when its switched on, each time you turn the car on, it again beeps for a second and nothing happens.

its on a 1990 toyota celica (the pop up lights one)

must be the flux capacitor actuator switch

i think in my st185 it was a switch for the lower fog/driving lights.

memory a bit hazy but thats what i think it did.

looks bogus to me, shouldnt it be grey if it was a standard switch?

by **Mr Revhead** » Thu Nov 27, 2008 6:26 pm

my guess is aftermarket parking sensors
got funny round things in the rear bumper?

That switch is higher up above the indicator stalk next to the instrument panel.
The beeping sounds parking sensor like but did they even have parking sensors in 1990?

aftermarket kits have been available for a while now

It's there to remind you every time you push it that you should have bought a manual :wink:

ha ha ha, nice one guys

maybe it is a parking sensor..... i will have a look next time the mrs is round.

and yes i know she should have got a manual but she can't drive manuals :roll:

Its a "call Andrew" switch

You need to get one for the silvia

by **rorz** » Wed Feb 11, 2009 10:33 pm

yeah does anyone know what that is?

It beeps every time my girlfriend starts her 89 GT4. AND it randomly flashed intermitantly the other night. I had her flick the switch while looking at the lower fog lights but it did nothing...

Anyone?

so I take it that it doesn't have parking sensors? you never seemed to have answered.

by **rorz** » Thu Feb 12, 2009 11:44 am

Nope no parking sensors

my old st182 came with a switch very similar that turned on the auto headlight unit (one that turn on automatically when it gets dark). Awesome tech for 1990

by **celica_xr9145** » Mon Feb 16, 2009 2:02 pm

my celica doesnt have that

your sony mini system speakers in the parcel tray just top the whole thing off

by **KwS** » Mon Feb 16, 2009 10:40 pm

switch for a broken parking pole in the bumper...?

by **rorz** » Sun Feb 22, 2009 10:30 pm

Hmm doesnt seem to automatically turn on the lights either. Has anyone else got one of these in their 1990 GT4?

why dont you look under the dash and see where the wire runs to?
