Got a call back from service advisor. He said there was a key system code stored. They suspected the remote start went into some reset mode locking out the normal ignition from the smart key. The mechanic did some research on the remote start and found some procedure to reset it involving both...

Gave it my best shot for a while in 19-20 degree weather in the driveway...going to a dealership tomorrow via tow :(

Thanks. The main ignition fuse looks good under the hood (20a low profile). tested fine, replaced anyway...still looking around.

Using the remote start button (after market) the 4runner cranks and starts immediately...i visually looked at the ignition fuse under the hood and it looked good. Will have to continue to do a better test of it tomorrow. Also there is a starter fuse under the hood and another in the cabin...

Hi, So with the factory key, car will not start. On a hunch got a new battery, and still won't start with factory key (red battery light on dash). So on a second hunch, from outside the car i used my wife's remote start button, and the car cranked strong and started right up. It's a low frills...

Hi, When you turn the volume up or down it may go in the opposite direction before going in the right direction or may not increment normally for the amount the dial is being turned. Has anyone else had this issue? Any suggestions on how to get in there and maybe look for and clear any...

Need a little help. On the tpms disable i used a posi-tap and when it tapped it actually cut the wire in half too close to the harness connector to repair. There is enough left to attempt to pull the wire out of the connector. Does anyone know the proper procedure to release the wire from the...

Thanks all. Great information!!

Rear hatch handle cover for 5th gen (2010)? Does anyone have the part number handy for this? Apparently they are stuck on with some goop, ours fell off at some point, and its now just messing up our hands every time we lift the rear door. Thanks! My guess i: Toyota 69308-35020Protector...

Just called the Toyota Customer Experience Center, 800-331-4331, option 4, option 2. They are not giving up anything. Bought certified and added some level of warranty above that, but don't think it extended the 7 yr time. She said, no active warranty, no warranty enhancements for that problem...

Hi, Wife has 2010 4runner, 80k miles. Just had the dealer inspect the timing cover area today after they cleaned the area up a week ago. They said the leak is coming from the timing cover area where it meets the head gasket. They want to replace them both. Out of warranty, and they said >20...

Thanks so much for this. i was just considering replacing my 2 front sensors where the batteries were dead. TPMS has never benefited me and only cost me money. This was done in less than 10 minutes. I have an '06 that was produced in November 2005. Wire description in the original post was...

Hi, Wanted to thank the member who posted the replacement diagrams, and the other contributors. My wife's 2010, had one issue a couple months ago where the blower stopped working but, started working again after the car was off for a while. Today in 100 degree heat index, it quit again with the...

I really appreciate the quick reply. Yes, I think you are right. New type of fuse to me (interior fuse panel). This is on a 2010 4runner limited. Looking at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fuse_(automotive) it looks like the low profile mini fuse (not the micro) which would mean, yes, it's the...

Power outlet 15a fuse blew this afternoon when using a 12v compressor. Went to replace it. It felt like it came out normal but both ends are left in the slots. What's the normal solution. Go get a new fuse panel from the dealer and move everything over to the new panel? Thanks!
