Turns out I just shorted a fuse. I suspect wires touched in the capping process. Replaced the fuse and all good. I'll try to take some pics and post. I still need to repair the gaping whole in the headliner, but I have thoughts about that. I replaced with an OEM dome:

Has anyone else had trouble recently with your virtualbox/techstream? I used it a couple months ago with no problems. I now get the error message below. I reinstalled Virtualbox and redownloaded Techstream, but the problem persists.

Well, it happened. I snipped the extraneous wires back and now the new done light doesn’t work and the front seat map lights don’t work. Any and all suggestions welcome.

I appreciate the thorough response. I have a plan for covering the cutout headliner etc. I just want to make sure I don’t mess up the wiring. I had an Audiovox (after market) dvd (pic attached).

Apologies for adding a new thread on this topic, but I cannot find (or understand) in prior threads how to understand the various wires. I’ve ordered the OEM dome light (in transit). I’m hoping it connects to the white connector (see video). I need help understanding (1) if that’s correct and...

Thanks for asking. I'm on the road to recovery. I have no idea why I waited so long to get tech stream. It should be mandatory if you have AHC. I discovered the front and rear pressure was extremely low. I cranked the torsion bars way down and go the front within spec. The rear is still...

Thank you. Alas, I no longer have the original springs or TBs. Believe it or not those pressure readings are with rack, tent, drawers and me sitting in the drivers seat. I’ll go back and review the page 1 instructions. Does it make sense to swap out springs and keep the existing TBs to check...

I need guidance. I am on the verge of solving a three-year saga to discover the source of a horrible undercarriage rattle and a crappy ride quality. Thank you Mud community for all the help. I need a bit more. 2007 LC with AHC. Shortly after purchasing my LC in 2022, it was recommended that I...

What constitutes too low? Anything below 5.6?

Trying to determine if rear springs too stiff. I replaced my factory rear springs with non-AHC springs on the advice of a mechanic. It's driven like crap since. My sense is that the springs are taking virtually all the weight off the AHC, which does not operate well now. Is it safe to...

I’ve got a 2007 with AHC. I swapped out rear springs and torsion bars for non-AHC OEM springs and torsion bars a couple years ago. I’ve had a rattly-thunk with my suspension ever since. I’ve shelled out an ungodly amount of money to ID and fix the noise but nothing has worked. I’ve since seen...

@Bisho why did you do this? Was it to address contact issues? How did your wood spacer affect the two rear bolts? Thx.

Thank you. Is there a way to determine if I have the Toyota v. Lexus springs without removing them?

Yes, that’s with full weight on the suspension. I should say I have AHC (if that changes anything). Thanks for the advice.

I’ve been trying to locate a couple rattles for longer than I care to admit. My last round of mallet thumping led to the rear springs. This sounds loose to me but I’m not a mechanic. My LC is on the ground (not a lift) of that matters. Input appreciated.
