I am trying to illuminate a 6 pin rocker switch the light is on but in the off position

Sounds like a bad ignition switch. Replace it or do away with the part that feeds 12 volts to the coil
If you can get a wiring diagram for it, find the ignition wire.You could also use a 12 volt test light to find the ignition wire. Cut the ignition wire off the harness under the dash where it goes up the steering column to the ignition switch.Splice onto the end that goes to the coil. The lower end of this harness.
Install a rocker or toggle switch somewhere easily accessible. Preferably a lighted rocker switch. Run a fused 12 volt positive to it, and the ignition wire that goes to the coil. If you use a lighted rocker switch, you'll need a ground wire up to the new switch (so the light will work). When the switch is on, the ignition is on. No more messing around holding the key just right to keep it running.
Or, since the ignition switch you have seems to be defective, take it and have it replaced. There might be a warranty, since a new switch shouldn't work like that. Good luck Garcuda

hi jerome
I have the procedure for Toyota auto lock, is worth to try it
AUTOMATIC LOCK SETTING
1) Step in the vehicle and make sure that all doors are closed completely
2) Insert the key into the ignition key cylinder.
3) Wait for more than 5 seconds.
4) After turning the key to the ACC position, turn the key from the ACC to the
ON position 5 times within 10 seconds (Last position : ON).
? Status Monitor LED will illuminate for 30 seconds.
Note : In case you implement 6 times or more by mistake,
action steps 6)-8) you made will be canceled.
Please retry from step 2).
5) While the LED is illuminated :
• Open and close the driver's door 2 times.
• Turn the key to the ACC position.
? LED will continue illuminating.
? Indicator lights will flash 2 times.
Ignition controlled door lock ON :
6) While the LED is illuminated:
• Open and close the driver's door 1 time.
• Turn the key ACC-ON-ACC 1 time (Last position : ACC).
? Indicator lights will flash 1 time.
? LED will extinguish.
Ignition controlled door lock OFF :
6) While the LED is illuminated :
• Open and close the driver's door 2 times.
• Turn the key ACC-ON-ACC 1 time (Last position : ACC).
? Indicator lights will flash 2 times.
? LED will extinguish.

Door switch operation when drivers door pin switch open position; poor ground circuit control. Try wiggle testing pin switch. Harness is routed from door switch along floor board rocker sill.

If you take a 12 volt test light,you can get one at a parts store.you take this switch where the wires are on the bottom.turn the ignition switch on, and take the test light,and ground the wire end of this light(it will be a alligator clip)And take the pointed end and stick it where the where the wires go in the switch.(make sure it is for the correct side window.)push down on this rocker switch and the test light should illuminate! if not that way,move the switch to the up position.If you have your test light on the right wire it this switch is good, then the light should illuminate.most cases i see is Window lift motor wore out! On another quick trick is ! With the ignition switch on, Hold the button down in the direction you want it to go AND SLAM THE DOOR REAL HARD!!! It has worked on my F150,and still going GOOD LUCK

It is a generic Nissan brake light switch replacement procedure... the brake light switch on a Nissan Altima i.e. controls the illumination of the brake lights. Without the switch, the lights would not go on. The switch has no service life, so when it goes, it usually happens suddenly. New brake light switches can be obtained from Nissan or from a Nissan dealership.

1. Remove the cotter pin from the pin bolt that holds the brake pedal to the brake booster with a pair of pliers. There is a small cotter pin running through the brake pedal to brake booster connection. You need to pull this cotter pin out to remove the larger pin that holds the brake pedal to the brake booster.
2. Slide the pin out of the brake booster mounting bracket.
3. Pull up on the brake pedal to slide it out of the brake booster mounting bracket.
4. Remove the bolts holding the brake switch to the firewall using a socket wrench.
5. Remove the electrical connector on the brake switch by pulling it straight off the switch.
6. Slide the switch off the firewall.
7. Install the new switch. Installation is the reverse of removal. Make sure that you replace the cotter pin in the brake booster to brake pedal connection. The cotter pin prevents the retaining pin in the brake booster mounting bracket from coming off.

Hope helps (remember to rate this answer).

Ive never heard of a timing belt light, but there is a maintenance light that can be reset. Here the procedure:

To reset the maintenance reminder light: Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position. Set the odometer/trip display to the odometer (ODO) mode. Turn the ignition switch off. Depress and hold the trip meter reset button while turning the ignition switch to the on position. The maintenance reminder light will, illuminate for 3 seconds, blink for 2 seconds, illuminate solid for 1 second and then turn off. Release the trip meter reset button. Turn the ignition switch to the off position. Turn the ignition switch to the on position. Confirm that the maintenance light goes out.
Let me know if this helped you out!

Push on one side or the other of the actual illuminated light. It's a rocker switch itself

just put a jumper wire going from the 12v to the center terminal

the test connector is under the hood on the drivers side..

1. Warm engine to operating temperature and turn ignition "OFF."
2. Ground the test connector (1 pin wire) with a jumper wire. NOTE: Test connector is located next to the check connector in the engine compartment near the left side strut tower.
   
3. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
4. If MIL illuminates, goes off, and stays off no codes are present.
5. If MIL illuminates, goes off, and then starts flashing, codes are present.
6. Count the flashes to determine the fault code.
