I was having trouble starting the car.The car would start sometimes and others it didn't. so the covering around the steering wheel were taken off.My dad removed this particular piece - the switch assembly thinking it might need repairing.he took it down to the toyota dealer who instead looked at my car key said it was very worn, so gave dad the original key number.The new key works a dream, but now I'm a little worried about this peice that isn't back on the column.The dealer said it's not necessary for the actual starting of the car.

When you open the door leave it open and put the key into the ign barrel do you get a beep beep beep coming from the dash! if not then the switch is just to switch the beeper on. So with it removed you will now not have to hear the beeper when you leave the keys in the car and open the door.

Dimmer switch for your dash lights.

If that was removed then there would no longer be any tail lamps, park lamps and dash lights. As all the light system works through it. If it even has one fitted as only the GLX had dash dimming fuction switch. And they are fitted to right hand side of the combo metre not on the ign barell
