HELLO! I am in a bit of trouble guys. I was changing bulb from the rear fog lamps switch to red led and accidentally I made a short-circuit. Now led or stock lamp doesn't work then attached. That button definitely works as lamp comes up and in the dash it shows that it is working. Was I able to destroy the power line for led/bulb? Is it possible to be fixed? I have CelicaSt '96 if it is any help for you.

Bit of a silly question, but have you checked the fuse?

Looking at the schematic, both the rear fogs and the indicator light on the dash split off from the same output of the rear fog relay. If you are seeing the light then the fuse is fine.
So in theory, if you are looking at the proper light on the dash (not the malfunction indicator lamp) AND you hear the relay clicking when you hit the switch, then you should have power at the bulb sockets. I would say try a bulb that you know for certain is good (not necessarily the one you removed), and try turning the led lamp 180 degrees and trying it again, they are polarity sensitive (if it is the kind of bulb that you can put in both ways). -------------------- ST205 Crew represent
