You need a schematic, in your manual or (AutoZone has them) and a volt/ohm meter or test light. Just go through the switch inputs/outputs on the schematic, it should be pretty easy from there.

hi there. i have a toyota. and i recently replaced three of mine. had to take the dash off first to see what kind they were. when i visited the car store i was told that all the toyotas have the same kind of dash lights.....good luck

the oil you see is transmission fluid. You also have a transmission cooler in the radiator, and it must have cracked. Need to replace the radiator. If were actual engine oil in there, it would look like a vanilla milkshake rather than coolant/water & motor oil. Plus the car wouldn't run. Replace radiator and have the transmission fully flushed at a shop. Cost of the flush should be a little over $100.
