FJ62 Door Lock circuit breaker fuse location

mmw68 · 03-21-06, 09:22 PM

Do your door locks not work on your FJ62?

Try resetting the circuit breaker. Use a paperclip and insert into the hole on the silver top of the breaker. It will "Click", then it is reset.

It's located right around the other relays and electrical stuff behind your fuse box and the hood release.

euclid · 03-22-06, 07:28 AM

good stuff. Thanks.

Herbert · 03-22-06, 07:42 AM

Mine doesn't click. Does that mean the circuit breaker is shot?

tclndcrz · 03-22-06, 09:52 AM

does the truck need to be on or the key inserted?

mmw68 · 03-22-06, 04:21 PM

No, not that Iam aware of.

tclndcrz · 03-22-06, 07:52 PM

sooo awesome. i tried it with the car off and then turned it on and tried the door locks. worked perfectly. its been 2 years without power door locks. thanks a lot!!

euclid · 03-23-06, 07:03 AM

I felt the same way when Mark reset this CB in my truck at the Roundup.

Herbert · 03-23-06, 07:24 AM

Worked for me, too! Thanks! It didn't click, but the locks work again...
I had the same with my stereo btw. It crashed and resetting did the trick.

mmw68 · 03-23-06, 07:49 AM

Yeah, Euclid stills owes me a case of Beer.

theside00 · 03-23-06, 04:32 PM

that was a great post was trying to figure out what the problem was looking at the fuses and about ready to pull the door apart but went out here clicked that and the door locks work great.
Thanks

Moody · 03-23-06, 08:46 PM

Is this only for when the locks don't work at all, or?? My locks work intermittently, and even then, not all of them work....Gracias

euclid · 03-24-06, 05:37 AM

This will be for when they don't work at all. The circuit breaker will turn the entire system off if it needs to be reset.

Haskins1111 · 11-01-06, 02:21 PM

Oh my i just went out to my cruiser and did it and boom they work, it has never worked since i bought it, 3 years!!! where do i send a check to the guy who wrote this, thanks so much, Matt much appreciated!!!!!

mmw68 · 11-01-06, 04:17 PM

Please Don't send checks...but BEER!

scottie · 01-12-07, 06:55 PM

This is a good one. I got a wiring diagram, tested all my switches in the drivers door and ran it down to the circuit breaker. Had to go to Toyota to point out which one it was and bought a new one. A couple of months later the lock quit working. I gave up thinking it was a short.

After reading your thread, I used the paper clip and WA-LA. I have had auto locks for weeks and no problems. Good one. Thanks

pismo62 · 06-10-07, 01:00 PM

Great Thread, I've been 2 years without auto locks. I went out to the truck reset the relay and walla it works. Thanks

Same for me, 2 years without then Mark resets it and fixes it in 2 mins.

DirtyLittleSecret · 06-11-07, 03:04 PM

Now if he can deduce the infamous rear driver side door lock issue...
He'd earn more beer.

Zach12 · 07-02-07, 01:16 AM

sounds like I have the same problem, where is it inside or in the eng.?Also do you a trick for window drivers door dead.

Toyo62 · 09-13-07, 03:39 PM

About those door locks that did not work, I tried the paper clip trick and presto!!!
All is well and good.............thanks for the great advice. P.S. The guy I bought my truck from told me that the door locks were not working and that I would need a new relay????????????? Very happy that I did not go running to a Toyota Dealer!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks so much for your great tip.
What kind of beer do you like?

kuma · 09-03-08, 09:49 PM

Just tried this and it worked the guy who owned it before me had it for 10 years and the door locks never worked he couldnt figure it out thanks a bunch

Tofudebeest · 09-22-08, 09:06 AM

Could this cause just one window to not function? With direct power (batt charger), the rear passenger window works great, but is dead otherwise. The other three work fine. Any suggestions?

euclid · 09-22-08, 09:15 AM

If direct power makes it work, I would suspect the switch itself. I took the master switch panel apart and cleaned the contacts to improve the speed. You may try that. I'd bet one of the copper contacts in there is worn. They work using spring action, so you may could bend it back.

If it's not the swith, you have to start tracing wire between the switch and the window motor.

Randy88FJ62 · 09-22-08, 10:32 AM

Good to know. Thanks for bringing it up.

Tofudebeest · 09-22-08, 01:20 PM

Direct power to the switch, I should have said...We did have to use the switch to operate the window. But, I'll do the inspect and clean jobby as well, they're all pretty sluggish, even after spraying liquid silicone in the rubber tracks. Thanks Greg. Having been all up in every nook and cranny of this 62, it is as clean, if not cleaner than I thought it was when I got it from you. That MS mud, however, sucks (but apparently preserves).
