my rear hatch was broken, bought a new ECU thinking that it needed replaced, but it was a blown wire issue.
Purchased, facotry sealed, from Toyota Dealership in Fairfax VA. Asking $250.
(they call it "Door ECU Back").
update -- fixed!
my bf took the vehicle to his buddy's shop where they were able to put 2 4runners side by side to test the malfunction... noticed a little blue wire was blown.
a little electric tape and voila, fixed! my trunk works again! :)
what a relief. the toyota dealership wanted to...
just disconnected it again... will let you know how it goes...
called dealer re: programming new ECU (wasn't sure if I had to? but, dealer said no need to)
I did originally try that... however, it wouldn't hurt to try again.
I used a meter and there is electricity running out of the ECU... don't know where it malfunctions.
My rear hatch (electronic) will not open, defroster and wiper blade will not work. Checked fuses and replaced the rear ECU (purchased part from Toyota)... still not working.
Any ideas of what might be wrong or what I should try next? Anyone experienced this?
Never been in an accident, no...
Hi All,
Love my 4runner, but it's time to part. This truck is a beast. New tires at the end of the summer (about 6,000 miles on them). Located in Northern VA/Wash DC area. Power moonroof & JBL Stereo with dual controls.
Currently has 60,XXX miles.
I have taken very good care of this car -...
