Celica Forums General Discussion General Running Lights not blinking on Unlock/Lock

Hey Everybody!

So I'm having a problem with my car that only surfaced a couple days, maybe weeks ago.
I have the optional keyless entry/remote system that came factory with the car, nothing's been changed, modified, none of it.
What is supposed to happen when you press the unlock or lock button; The running lights and dash will light up once or twice depending on which button you press, as well as beeping, in synchronization.

I've noticed that while the beeping still happens, the doors still lock, the running lights stopped blinking. I can't remember exactly when this started (or stopped) but if it's an easy fix I'd so like to fix it.

Any ideas? waiting eagerly for answers, thank you for reading.

If it matters, I do have the glass breakage sensor, and did have to reseal the taillights, involving taking them out and putting a layer of silicone around the seal.

The DRL, tail lights, side markers are powered through a fuse (I think #18) at the fuse panel near the passenger's left knee. It may be blown.

Check all other lights to see if any also fail.

If the fuse is blown, there must be some failure that caused it, like wires shorting. Wires can be easily shorted If rubbed against the chassis. the main causes are not fixed, replaced fuses will keep blowing and eventually you may damage the Body Control Module and the fuse panel associated with it. new BCM costs $1,100 from dealers, but you can find used BCM for under $100 in eBay.

Unless you are experienced with auto electrics, it's safer to find a good shop to find and fix the problems.
