Replaced the release switch just now and reset the ECU. Seems to be working now. Fingers crossed.

So i'm having the same problem. it started after my trailer hitch receiver hit the incline of my driveway while reversing up the driveway. i disconnected the battery, and it worked for a few days then stopped. Today I replaced the actuator, but still doesn't work. So, I ordered a the latch...

Great write-up. I'm thinking about doing this in the near future and was wondering how many people also replace the idler pulleys when replacing the serpentine belt. What are the indications that a pulley should be replaced? Is it a waste of time/money to do this preemptively?

Thanks for the input. Much appreciated. I think I will go with the 5100s. Next question: What's the shelf-life on the stock coils? At 123k miles, should they be replaced? If so, what's are some options that won't further stiffen the ride?

Yep. Pulled the codes: c1223 & c 1249. I saw on this same thread that it may be the brake light switch. Will try to replace today

ABS VSC TRAC Problem I've read several posts about this issue but haven't decided what to do to fix it. My 07 SR5 is showing the warnings in the attached photo. I recently bought new tires, and the shop tech confirmed that I needed new rear ABS sensors ($200-300). I've seen sensors online for...

Thanks! That's what i needed to know.

I bought a replacement chipped key off Amazon and had a locksmith cut the key (Amazon.com: KeylessOption 2 Item Bundle 1 Key Fob Keyless Entry Remote For HYQ12BBX Plus 1 Uncut Ignition Key: Automotive). Before I tried programming the replacement key, I tried to use it to manually open the doors...
