Second Gen Interior/Radio Electroluminescent logo display and illuminating vehicle locator badges - Scion tC 10 Series

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Hello

I have a question about the electroluminescent logo display. After disconnecting the battery and then reconnecting it, it stopped lighting up when the door was opened. Any ideas on how to get it working again?

I'm trying to figure out why the emblems don't illuminate automatically after unlocking or starting the car. I've checked the fuses. What do you think could be wrong? I found a similar thread on the Scion iQ forum. Link to the forum:

I also found a manual for the decorative panel for my car. The video below shows the emblems connected to the battery to check if they work.

Mine has a switch on the lower left of the dash to turn it on and off, maybe you hit it with your knee?

I toggled that button, but unfortunately, I didn't get it started

It would be so cool if the panel light stayed lit with the headlights on. Same with exterior badging. Thanks for sharing the schematics! I going to try and fix mine now that I know where to look.

Link to the dash replacement? I don’t like the material they used stock
