Which one is the catch. I see a Top Hinge, Black Bar and Bottom Hinge

I am not sure how to describe this, but my drivers door is rather loose. There does not feel like there are the "cam" type stops in a normal door. Is there a spring that goes bad?

I found this part number 89533-35170 This is the front ECU In my troubleshooting diagram this comes up as a possible culprit for all my problems. I want to take this and have a look to see if it is bad. Not sure how I do that....

I am rather frustrated with not being able to find the part numbers for the bulbs for the heat/AC control knobs. These are manual control type. I know they are not standard bulbs cause I changed one a few years back. Any help with the part number? It should be a toyota part number.

These all came about at the same time. Not sure if they are linked or not. 2 different original keyfobs - replaced the batteries. They will only allow the rear window to go down. Will not trigger the door locks. Rear wiper, defog and rear window dash switch do not work. I checked the fuse...

I am currently just removed the water pump. I am replacing everything I can - that needs it. My kit came with seals, I am not seeing any oil leaks so I am not sure about messing with them. Do they require special tools to install? How do I hold the cam gears to remove the bolts? Also, my...

BTO and 01t4rnr why did you even bother to post. I was looking for opionons on if it makes sense to repair/replace the radiator... And I have the answer now.. replace instead of repair. Thanks to the others!

I don't think the fluids have mixed. The pink was the original coolant color. My tranny fluid looks fine also. I need to look for a new radiator now! Thanks

Looks like the bottom, passenger side has a slow leak. There is pink crust around the passenger bottom corner. There is no hose there so I assume it is the radiator. What are the typical methods for this? Have the radiator rebuilt/repaired. Dunno if this can be done since it is plastic. Or...

I just had the passenger side window changed. I was told I need to take it to Toyota to set the computer on it. Now the window always goes down. I have no heard of this before. Can I reset it myself

The passenger side window was smashed out. I need to buy a new one so I can replace it. Never bought this sorta thing before. Is this something I just lookup for someone local in the phonebook? Auto Parts Store? Windsheild Repair? I am assuming it would need to be ordered? Looking for...

The worst were the rear tires...

I have never changed any fluids aside from oil. Looking into changing the front/rear ends and trans/transfer. Any suggestions on a pump to use to add fluid? Is it time to flush the radiator?

My wife's SR5 had abnormal cupping on the tires. Is it time for struts/shocks? Any particular daily driver brands?
