    Key FOBs not working on 1999 Land Cruiser

    Okey, my wireless central locking issue is now solved, and the result is somewhat embarrassing. Changing the body ecu did not help, but something a lot more simple. I have three keys which all had empty batteries. I remember changing a new battery to different keys, but I probably tested only...

    Power Antenna Issue

    Thanks for checking, perfect! That makes sense, now I regret for not looking carefully enough. The magnet seemed to fit quite well even in random position with the notch toward the plastic, but perhaps it's not fully in contact if the ridge is not aligned with the notch. I am still waiting for...

    Looks Like Body ECU time (rear wiper)

    Now I replaced the original body ecu 82791-60021 (base model) with a 82791-60010 (power seats with memory) that I found from a Finnish scrapyard. The rear wiper operates now normally, and it seems that all other functions have no issues! My remote central locking is still not working, but now I...

    Key FOBs not working on 1999 Land Cruiser

    This seems to be a feature. Probably there is some common cause for this, I'm wonder what has been the most common solution. Or is it totally random. I just ordered a used body ecu from scrapyard, let's see if it does any difference.

    Key FOBs not working on 1999 Land Cruiser

    Thanks for update! I also have a fear that fixing this might be so expensive that it makes no sense. At least here the "professionals" will most likely just start randomly changing ecu's and see if it helps. And that does not fit in my budget at all. Edit: Now I managed to run the sequence to...

    Key FOBs not working on 1999 Land Cruiser

    Did you guys manage to solve the issue? I also have same issue with non-functioning fob. There are three keys, all start the engine, but remote locking works in none of those despite replacing batteries. No issue in manual central locking. I have two suspects to blaim at least in this first...

    My first year with an HDJ100

    God kveld! That's a reasonable explanation regarding the actuator. It did not require much effort for me to break the housing, so it could simply be hit by a stone after being eroded for a decade by salt. My plan was also to cover the new one with Tectyl etc. to make it last longer. I often...

    Looks Like Body ECU time (rear wiper)

    I have the exact same issue with the rear wiper in my 2001 HDJ100, always on if instrument ECU is connected. Bypassing it makes the wiper act normal, intermittent function missing of course. I also have a non-working remote central locking, otherwise everything in central locking works perfect...

    My first year with an HDJ100

    Unfortunately there are no maintenance records with the truck. It for sure would be nice to read if half of the vehicle has been rebuilt during its lifespan! In that sense I have not much to share, but I'll share some thoughts anyway: I'm no expert, but I was amazed how well everything works in...

    My first year with an HDJ100

    Thanks XAlent! You are absolutely correct, that circled device is a diesel powered "pre-heater". These are common here up north, especially in cars with larger engines. Most cars have electric heaters though, but the power in those is 0,5-1 kW, so it would take ages to heat such an engine. With...

    My first year with an HDJ100

    Thanks! Yes you probably need a bit of bad luck to get such a knock directly in the actuator. Positive is that the troubleshooting of rear diff lock not working was easy! Quick look in the chassis, and "OK". The actuator has surely undergone severe abuse even before my gentle disassembly, as...

    My first year with an HDJ100

    With these minor updates and cleaning work, it’s like a different truck: Also under the hood it looks quite ok considering the mileage: I still have a lot of work to do: The rear wiper did not work at all. I disassembled the wiper spindle + link + motor, and the spindle was totally...

    My first year with an HDJ100

    I ordered the missing centre cups from amayama.com, and they were a perfect fit. The cost was more than expected, almost 200 € with all shipping cost, customs and taxes. But no regrets, without those the OEM rims look really bad. The steering wheel was the second on my list to get fixed as...

    My first year with an HDJ100

    Hi everyone! I have been a happy Cruiser owner for about a year now and been following this forum as a guest during this period until now. It is amazing how much useful information one can find here! I read that it is recommended to give an introduction when joining the forum, so here goes...

    Power Antenna Issue

    Sorry for reviving old thread, but this one was closest I could find that has almost the needed information I need to solve my issue. Yesterday I disassembled the housing in my power antenna unit to get the old broken plastic cord out from the housing. There I was happily cleaning all the...
