Went with the Volt kit 4300k on my '03 SR5 because I wanted to match (or come close) to same color as on my car. Took no time to install and looks great - lights up the road and shoulder better than I expected! My fear now is that I'm hooked... so replacing the halogen fog lights may be next...

I have the same issue. Dealer said it was the switch on the side of the seat and wanted $160 to change out. The toyota dealer on ebay that sold me the hood deflector sold me a new switch for $50, but that didn't fix the problem... I had a feeling this would be the case because as I was pulling...

Awesome! Thanks for the thread. Took less than 20 minutes to change out the stalk and all works as it should. Dealer wanted $80 to $100 depending how "complicated" it would be once they got into it.

yea, I'm sure it's a different stalk. The one with the switch for the fog light actually has the extra swtich with the fog indicator, whereas the one I have doesn't have the switch. But, I'll look into not removing the steering wheel - dealer told me it had to be removed so I just took their...

Hey all, I know I saw a good write up removing the steering wheel a while ago, but now I can't find it now and didn't save it either. I need a little directions because I didn't have oem fogs on the truck, but had the factory wiring underneath, so added them without replacing the turn...

Should I buy a good set of gauges and test the levels myself? I guess that would tell me who is right about the a/c... either there's a leak if it's low, or there's not.

The dealer tells me that the freon levels are good, but a local shop says I have a leak and to use the leak stop. He wants $110 for the leak stop and recharge, but if it doesn't solve the problem, I don't get my $110 back. Let us know how it works out for you.

I gave the paper clip a couple different times. Once half hour after I got home from work, then just a few minutes ago when I got home from the store. Pretty much the same thing, although earlier the compressor ran longer than it did the second go round. What do you think? Or, what should I...

Thanks Acidmeld - I disconnected the sensor then started the engine on and the compressor didn't kick on at all, just blew air as if I manually turned the a/c off. Other suggestions? I'm open to try just about anything before swallowing one of the big ticket fixes from the local dealer/shop.

I need some help... I've been having issues with my a/c for over a year now. Problem is that it blows cold for a few seconds, then the compressor shuts off and it blows outside air, then back to cold, then warm, etc.. I've replaced the relay - twice to be sure the new relay wasn't a dud - but...

interesting plug. I just got home and checked mine (03 SR5 V8). have the same plug, except that it's not tucked in, rather plugged in to what appears to just be a blank plastic holder just under the hood latch. I followed the wire to the horn just to the right. could it be related to a factory...

My '03 V8 SR5 started doing the same thing a couple weeks ago. I had the dealer do a system evac and found the freon level was fine. For good measure, I swapped out the relay even though it was replaced a few months ago, but problem still persists. I'm not a mechanic, but this is the same...

hey, was this matter ever resolved? I too have an 03 SR5 V8 and the problem just started a few days ago. Already replaced the relay a few months ago, and today the dealer evacuated the system and found that I wasn't low on coolent. After sitting around for 3 hours, I left to get things done...
