At night, when I turn left, I push the turn signal-headlight control arm down so the left signal lights blink. At times, not always, this makes the headlights go out. I found that if I just slightly turn the plastic end piece of the headlight-turn signal arm, the headlights go back on. A non-Toyota mechanic told me that some brass contacts in a switch under the plastic of that arm are wearing out and soon I'll have much trouble getting the headlights back on. Is the repair of this too complicated for me to do? Are special tools required? One Toyota dealer in my city wants over $400 to fix this. The other Toyota dealer in town wants over $200 to fix. Tell me what you think or know about this. Thanks (This post was edited by 97ioat on Apr 1, 2009, 4:09 PM) Loren Champlain Sr Veteran / Moderator Apr 1, 2009, 5:58 PM Post #2 of 4 (2397 views) Re: '97 Toyota RAV4 headlights go out when turning (mainly or only left) Sign In Price: $80.99Sounds like the combination switch. Mitchell labor guide shows .8 hrs. to replace.
