Hello
I took my 2003 Corolla S in for regular servicing recently. After having gotten the keys back, my wife went to the car in the lot and noticed the car wouldnt start. Upon closer inspection, she noticed that someone had left the lights on. She went back to the service dept and a Toyota technician boosted the car which led the car to start up. Evidently, someone in the service dept had left the lights on for several hours.
When I got home later that night I noticed that the headlights would not turn on. Neither the daytime running lights, nor the highbeams. The fog lights do turn on.
I went back to Toyota the next morning and told them about the problem. They checked and found that the Daytime Running Lights Module had stopped working. Could this have been caused by the fact that the car lights were left on for several hours? Toyota insists it was a coincidence and that this is normal "wear and tear". Is this true? They are charging me $300+ to have it replaced!
Any info would be appreciated.
