But like for me, this is the first post that came up on Google, so yes, thankfully he updated it.

This worked for me, well partially. I can now use the key in the hatch lock to roll down the window and the remote will roll up the window. My dash switch still doesn't work. Got this from another post and it seems to be rarely mentioned. You need 2 keys 1 key goes in the ignition and turn it...

You just saved me a trip to the dealer. 3 years ago I installed a radio in the wife's 08 and the window, defrost and wiper stopped working. I have looked through so many posts on and off for the past 3 years and you are the first I see with the 2 key method. Wiper and defrost now work, window...

I asked to buy some pink from my local dealer and he said they only have zerex Asian.

No, the rear window does not roll up or down using any method. All other windows work fine. Rear wiper, rear wiper wash and defrost don't work. The rear defrost won't even illuminate when pressed so it looks like no power is getting to them. Thanks for the wiring diagram.

The window, wiper and rear defrost stopped working. No activity from the switch, the key, the rear wiper control or the rear window button. Door is latched properly and passenger rear windows roll up and down fine. So it sounds like a bad body ECU. I assume this is the one in the hatch itself...

Hey all, sorry to have to post this, but I have not seen a good solution. If there is one already out there, please share. I replaced the radio in the wife's 4th gen V8. After that the rear wiper and rear window no longer work. The window doesnt work from the remote, key or dash button. I have...

It literally takes 3 min to remove the plates for a oil change and another 5 to put it back on. 8 min every few months is worth the extra protection.

I work in insurance claims and the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act of 1975 is what you need to reference. There are a lot provisions of this act, but your situation is protected by the act. They have to prove your aftermarket parts caused the failure. There is also a portion that protects consumers...

The blue one at auto zone. When I bought my 4R recently, I took it to toyota to have it inspected, the service tech came out and asked what brand it was. He said it was the best air freshener he has smelled come through the dealer.

mycarfax.com is another option and there is an app for that.

....When you just bought your first 3rd gen and have been on Craigslist every other day looking for another.

Your car will most likely go to auction or another dealer, so I wouldn't worry about the wheels and it's up to you on how much you get for trade in. A lot of times the dealer will take photos and post them online and let other dealers bid. They did that with my last trade. Took about 30 min and...
