Hello everyone. Just wondering if anyone else on here has had electrical issues with the 22rte turbo engine When I turn the headlights on the digital dash goes black but when I turn the headlights off the dash lights and speedo go back to normal  :headscratch:This electrical crap is driving me crazy so just thought I would check here. Thanks in advance Oh yeah the vehicle is an 1987 toyota 4-runner 22rte 4banger with an auto tranny...

Is there a switch on the dash that will dim the dash lights?
try to adjust it

It has the digital dash and when you don't have the headlights on the dash lights work fine but when you turn on the parking or head lights the dash and console lights go out

Anyone have any ideas???

Sounds like you might have a ground issue with the lights, causing feed back into the electronic dash.
