My sunroof recently got stuck open in the tilt position. It makes a loud clicking sound when attempting to close. The drivers side does close slightly but the passenger side doesn’t seem to want to budge. I tried putting some downward pressure while someone else held the button, but no dice...

Can you please elaborate on how to remove/re-install the accumulator?

So, I checked the fuse, swapped it with another 40, and the motor still did not run. I think it's fair to assume that leaking fluid got to the motor/connector and caused the motor to go out... Sooo changing just the motor is no longer an option... At this point I think I am down to 3 choices...

Hey, no I have not checked the fuse yet, do you know exactly which it is? Funny now that I think about it, I did hear a clicking sound coming from the fuse box when I was doing the "test". Would I just be able to pick up a new fuse at an auto part store? Also, how can I be certain the...

Yes, apparently it is quite common.

So I did the test and the MOTOR was definitely NOT running. I ordered a replacement from eBay. It arrived Tuesday. I just took a look to see about replacing the motor WITHOUT removing the whole assembly, disconnecting the brake lines etc., like JURONIN mentioned. I don't see how you could...

Anyone able to help with my last couple of questions ^ ? Would be much appreciated!

Hey JURONIN, thanks very much for the info! Any chance you have a write up that replace? Also, going back to 4RunnerMexico's post, was that how you determined that the motor, not the accumulator, was bad? Would it be prudent to replace both, or unnecessary? It sounds like I could replace the...

05 06 07 08 09 Toyota 4Runner ABS Master Cylinder Brake Pump Booster A – Car Parts Direct Can anyone confirm if this is will work? Seems like a pretty good deal for the whole assmbly and it says it has a 1 year warranty + free ship... For some reason, it notes for an 05-09, but weren't the...

Yes! That is now the plan, I just need to get to the stealership to confirm the issue how 4runnerMexico described. I called a local shop who said they would replace the accumulator or whole assembly for around 3 hrs labor ~$400, I provide the parts. Also, is it possible to drive the vehicle in...

Thank you, this is really helpful, I will have to try it out! So just an update, I did have it towed to the local dealership. They ran a diagnostic ($69), said I needed a new master cylinder assembly and was quoted $3900 for parts and service! I actually started looking at new car options and...

Was hoping this was not the case... In your opinion, is it worth the ~$100+ to have the dealer or a mechanic do a diagnostic to confirm the issue? Aka, could this actually be a 'cheaper' issue? From what I have read it may be ~$3K+ to have it replaced :sobbing:

Were your symptoms the same as I described?

I had the vehicle scanned at home (at this point I consider it non-drive-able, the brakes hardly work even pressed to the floor). It did not throw any codes whatsoever.... :confused:

I have an 03 V8 with around 160,000 miles. Was driving home as usual when those lights and a loud, continuous beep started. I pulled over and turned everything off for a minute. When I restarted all of the lights and the alarm were still going. I decided to finish my commute home (less than 10...
