I went through this as well. It was one of the posts I had found in my initial search, and part of the problem is that I can’t even get into accessory mode. The button simply does not do anything but light up.
I thought about the drain and tried jumping it as well. It didn’t change anything. I’m leaning towards the key not being recognized as far as the starting function is concerned, but I don’t know what could have gone bad or changed. The fob battery is new. And it the remote unlocks the car. And...
This was my initial thought, and that’s one thing that I forgot to include in the post; I did try and jump start it. I assumed the battery may have been sitting long or there was a drain of some sort. I have it a good amount of time using my Ridgeline and it didn’t change a thing. And part of...
Alright folks. 2010 Limited here. The remote works to unlock the doors per usual, but the starter button will not do anything at all. It lights up how it should, but will not even turn the accessories on.
Some history: I’ve had it for a couple of years now but it’s been mostly sitting as it...
2002 Toyota 4Runner Sport edition that I purchased on this forum in September of 2016. Extremely well-maintained with a very long documented service history. I have owned this 4Runner since September of 2016, and have since put a lot of money and time into it. Majority of service has been done...
2002 Sport Edition, 281k miles. So the past winter I started noticing an issue where in cold temperatures (zero to 30's Fahrenheit) the infamous fan noise was not occurring when starting my 4R. The motor itself runs exactly how it should, but the fan does not want to kick on right away like it...
I spent 6k on my 2002 Sport Edition with 273k on it. Many people said I was crazy (the majority of them not being 4Runner people). My point was that it had impeccable service records. The timing belt complete service had been done 3 times, regular service intervals at Toyota dealerships, just...
This is why I had them save the parts. The documentation and parts themselves should build a very nice case. I keep everything as far as receipts and paperwork go. We'll see how it goes.
Call it wishful thinking, but it seems a lot different than the previous mechanic that did it. It feels a lot better and with everything they replaced, it better be.
After a little over a week, I got my runner back from the dealership. $1,537.14 when it was all said and done. They kept all the parts like I asked, and when I picked the truck up they took me into the shop to explain what had happened and what they did. I was a little too irritated to retain...
