What else can I say from my original post? The second master was installed by the Toyota Tech and whatever else they needed to do - I never touched the lights in the doors since. I kept the one LED I put in the overhead in the back as it really needed to be brighter back there, and that's it -...

After blowing the second master chip and the Service Dept subtly "warning" me that no more free master chips would be headed my way I gave up trying to change the bulbs to led. I'm guessing by placing led lights in the doors, there's a load on the circuitry that the system cannot handle/ does...

Now that I have my 4Runner back and fully working after I apparently caused lots of issues (fried several fuses in addition to #35 Dome and damaged the "Body" ECM) changing bulbs from incandescent to led, I'd like to know how to fully turn the vehicle OFF, short of pulling a battery cable? I...

Update: My wife was finally able to bring the 4Runner in to for Dealer Diagnostics. After 2 hours, and a service tech telling my wife that they have "pulled out the whole wiring diagram and are going over it", they have concluded that they need to replace the "Body ECU". Unknown as to how long...

I'm in agreement: was hoping to avoid by solving the issue though the helpful folks around here. Do you think I need to pull all the LEDs? Or just the front passenger side (weak). The dome & rear door foot are working fine.

To clarify: I'm referring to problems with the lights at the base of the door on a 2013 Limited. Door panels have not been opened by me. Vehicle was purchased as new with ~32mi on the odo. No other mods done... Yet (although the issues with simple light bulb changing has me very cautious) No...

I agree - should be a no brainer. Bulbs sourced from superbrightled.com Not a source of shitty bulbs. Tried multiple bulbs as I thought it was a bulb problem at first. Same issues. It's also why I noted that the incandescent has a similar ?power? issue in the driver's side front door. I've got...

As the title states, I'm having some problems while changing the interior incandescents to led lighting - I keep blowing fuses. It's gotten to the point where I pull fuse #35 (DOME) before I do anything with any interior bulb. You can guess how ridiculous this has gotten: ...go to hood, pull...

I did all my research before I went anywhere near the dealership that happened to be the closest to me. Searched Edmunds/ KBB/ Consumer Reports for pricing information then I researched all available vehicles in a 200mi radius. I knew what vehicles were probably available, options as best as I...

13 - LTD 4x4 (PC) Blizzard White (NV) Nav (R6) Running Boards (3T) Cross Bars (MF) Mudguards (CF) Carpet Mats (WL) Alloy Wheel Locks MSRP = $44,624 Paid = $39,500 before TTT The dealer tried to "prove" with a "printout of his costs" that he would get ~$875 back from Toyota for the sale...

I too just took advantage of the dealership's desire to move a '13 LTD and paid $39.5 for a Blizzard 4x4 with nav +.
