I assume oil, that is what I thought at least. But now that you ask I don't remember them specifically saying what type of leak. I will ask them next time I talk to them.

Thanks! Yeah, they said it was a pretty big job. But they kind of mentioned it as a side note, like the leak wasn't a big deal ("Timing cover leak, its about a 3 out of 10"). Probably because they didn't want to spend 4 days for a warranty fix haha. Well hopefully it is faster than that, they...

2012 4Runner is at the dealer right now getting this repaired under warranty (truck is at ~80k miles). My question for anyone that had this fixed, did it come back? Is it a defect with an updated part or just a bad overall design? I am worried it will come back after warranty is expired.

I never resolved it, but I haven't tried the replacing the junction box yet just because of the price and the issue really isn't worth that much to me to fix.

echoplex301 and wemslie97 I am pretty confident it is not the actuators. I can lock/unlock all doors fine when using the key in the driver side door or rear hatch. Also when starting/stopping the ignition they will all lock/unlock. ambush I think that is the issue. I remember searching a...

Which part would you recommend I try? I didn't see a generic "reset" section, but more about changing behavior (Unlock drivers door vs unlock all doors, etc). Another thing to note is that the lock switches in the doors don't work, and both this and the remote programming instructions use them...

But I tested the fob at an auto parts store and it was sending signals for each button press.

Sorry, this one is a 2000 that is having the issue. The auto door locks work when I start and turn off the car, or use the key as well. But there is something funny going on with the FOB/door switches.

Tested it at an auto parts store and all the buttons are active and working, so it looks like something more complicated is going on. The Unlock and Back Window buttons don't do anything for the car, only the lock button does anything. Any ideas on what I can check next? I read that there is a...

Oh nice! I didn't know auto parts stores had those available to use. That sounds like the best/easiest thing to check first. That will at least tell me if it is the FOB or something worse. Thanks!

Anyone have thoughts on this?

I recently replaced the battery in the keyless remote that we have after not using it for years. But the car only responds to the lock button and not the unlock button. Does this indicate a problem with the remote or possibly with the programming? Or has anyone else seen this? I also have...

Awesome, thanks! I will look into doing something like this then.

Does anyone know if there is a liftgate strap available for the 2012? We have a 2000 and it has one, but the new one we just got does not. It looks like there is a little panel where it should be, so I am hoping there is the option of one.

It happens in any weather. So if one of the door switches is out, both will not work? I think the actuators are working because all 4 doors auto lock and unlock.
