So I noticed my ECT power light does not light up on my cluster when I press the switch. I tried using a another switch and still no luck. I would not be shocked if it was a burnt out bulb but does anyone else have any ideas?

 

does the car drive different when you have it powered on the car should drive different with how it shifts when power is on

 

I do not notice any difference. Im going to replace my speed sensor number 2 and go from there with the issue. I doubt that will fix the lighting up problem but it might allow me to notice a difference in the shifting. but as of right now, no. this is a sign to do a manual swap? haha

 

bump ... same problem with my 97 sc300. any suggestions on what the cause might be?

 

well turn your ect on and pout the pedal to the metal.

tell us what points it changes gears at.

it should be changing ge3ars at a much higher rpm than usual , if not than your ect is not kicking in and you have a problem there----im sorry but i have no advice other than that.

good luck

 

have u check the connector under ur console were the switch is it might be disconnected

 

Yeah checked to see if the switch is plugged in and it is, tried a new switch, still didn't work. I know theres several burnt out bulbs on the cluster but I should still notice a difference if it was working and I do not.
