It's time to pare the fleet. Either the 200 or the FJ40 has to go, so I'm selling the 200. :(
Salsa red, 127xxx miles, totally stock, and very clean. 120k service done. Comes complete
with Blizzaks on steel rims, all manuals, two key fobs, even the remote for the rear screen.

Yes, what Crab Sack says. I had an intermittent LR door lock actuator. When it wouldn't respond to the key fob, the car exterior lights wouldn't flash. Easy to find out if this is the problem: test each door individually - see if it locks/unlocks with the key fob. In my case, replacing the...
Okay, problem solved. The door lights do have their own 5A fuse. I replace that and all is good. Although I still don't know why installing a lower wattage bulb caused the fuse to blow.
Well this seemed like such a simple job...I installed the first LED in the driver-side rear door. It lit for a fraction of a second, then went dark. Now none of the door lights work. Seems like a fuse problem - but the #40 7.5A fuse, according to the owner's manual, serves the map and...
How do I get the plastic hitch cover off? From the manual it's clear I need to remove a pin from the bottom. The manual suggests prying if off with a screwdriver..I tried that, but it felt like it was about to snap. Is there a trick to this? Or just pry harder?

Okay, help me figure this one out. When the car is off (i.e., engine not running) and I open the back hatch, I get a long (~5 second) warning tone. Does this indicate something is wrong, or is it simply the car telling me that the back hatch is open?

Update: I ended up replacing my failed door lock actuator with an OEM one, purchased from toyotapartsdeal.com for $263 including shipping. If another one dies, I'll try the $5 replace-the-motor method.
Was a bit nerve-wracking to pry on plastic parts with a screwdriver, then yank on the...
Just bought a 2013 200-series Land Cruiser, and need the remote that controls the rear video screen. Wireless headphones would be nice as well, though less important. Will pay reasonable $ plus shipping. Thanks.

An old thread, I know, but has anyone had experience (good or bad) with non-OEM door lock actuators? JC Whitney, for example, sells one for $59 which they claim fits. This looks a bit more attractive than the $359 the local dealer wants...
Yes, as TexAZ notes, a handheld scanner should be able to pinpoint the offending sensor.
Might be worth cycling that sensor (taking tire pressure down to ~10 PSI and back up to 40). Probably won't work, but free and will only take a minute. So worth a try.

Checked it out last Friday. Clean with no signs of off-road use. Some very light surface corrosion underneath. Newer tires, new front brakes, and serviced by the book according to carfax. Front bumper cover slightly damaged. No manuals. Test drive revealed no pulling, no hesitation, no...
