car: 1998 Camry CE.

Alarm: AsianWolf (I know... 1998 Camry parking lights -- posted image. acted on impulse should've gotten autopage 855LCD or Audiovox 996a). 2009FM2 a k a Skytek Galaxy 5000RS2 rebranded.

Problem: cannot get parking lights to work.

Troubleshooting steps taken so far.

Tested with multimeter green+, GREEN / WHITE+, GREEN/ orange+ and I get 12V+ when i turn on the lights and nothing when they are off.  Narrowed down the plug which goes to the light switch.  Connected white wire (fused 10A) to the 3 different wires one at a time (unplugging the alarm from main harness while connecting the white wire to each of the 3 wires).  Checked fuse on white wire and it is not blown.  Armed the alarm and tested with Multimeter and got .3v (forgot to turn down the mutimeter a notch) for 1 or 2 seconds on white wire when arming and disarming.  Defualt program 1 for alarm has the lights on.

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance

Set your meter correctly and remeasure. If it shows less then 12V then the output is bad. I show the parking light wire being +green in the white plug in the fusebox. Does your alarm have + or - outputs? Parking lights - is green in the column.

PARKING LIGHTS +|green               |   |bottom of fusebox *4        |
| PARKING LIGHTS -|green               |   |steering column             |
*4 In a white connector just below the fuses with the wires exiting out toward you.
Make sure you got output form alarm on the parkign light wire.

thanks auex - wanted to say that I checked the internal jumper on the alarm and it is set to + (this is the default).  What should I set the meter to?  (it seems right to me if I'm measuring volts since it showed 12V on all the 3 green wires, right)?  I guess the output is bad since it shows only .3 v right?

swamprat323 - I think that is where I stand now since the alarm output is .3v

Not sure how the ouput would've gone bad (I figured the fuse would've blown first).

If your meter is NOT auto ranging then set it to 20V DC. That will give you the correct range.

I had it on 20 DCV the whole time.  I just wasn't thinking and when I saw .3v thaught that that output was really low like milivolts low so I should switch to millivolts (obviosly not the case the 10A fuse should've been a dead giveaway for me...you don't protect a milivolt circuit with a 10a fuse).

you may not see 12 volts on your meter, the parkign light is a pulse not a constant. use a test light. but dont use the test on on ANYTHING in your car.

I don't have a test light but will try to get one.  Good point about the test light ..I know there is someone out there right now checking the YELLOW harness wire with a test light...ha ha.,....all I can picture is the onStar people "This is onstar we were notified that your aribag deployed, are you OK. Jimmy Bob: I'm fine but this 39.99 K-mart remote start is a pain in the but....say do you know what color is the tach sens wire lady?"

You know I'm thinking that he way to get this working is with a relay since the ouput on the alarm is too low.
