Reminds me of many of these new electric (tesla) cars that have so many battery fires and it takes 3 fire trucks to put one car out. Really glad no one was injured and it's another chapter for your FJ60. You'll be smiling the day you get it back from the paint shop. :)

I would love that, once i get home i'll send a photo of the door lock key code and then send you the ignition. How do i send it to you? or i'll just buy the new one from you and use this one i have in the interm and keep it as a spare unless you can use it? Best, Blake

Matt, thanks again for this great post. I was limited to time in the USA to get the part i needed in Medellin for my FJ62. I wish i saw this before i bought the part/keys/ignition. What i would love to do is get the whole new key set (igntion, doors, gas) from you (- this includes NOS full...

I am going to bring it back to all original chrome trim... i prefer it also. How's your key working? I've also picked up the rest or the chain from the key to the starter, alternator, ground and respective cables to make it start like a 2024 LC300. Brrrrrup!

Hi Matt, I considered doing that but didn't want to take the whole steering wheel assembly off and nor did i want to damage the original housing of the ignition with a slip of the drill. I took my chances with drilling the ignition and the fact that i picked up this new one at the Toyota...

It was and yes total bummer to have had to drill it but it turned over 1 too many times and gave us good times since 1988. Send a TLC prayer. 🙏

UPDATE So I took off the electrical switch part and was able to start the truck but the Cylinder is still jammed. The wear on the cylinder is too far gone. Time to drill it out and order a new ignition cylinder with new keys. Took a while to get it drilled out due to the dashboard and angle of...

Hi fjc-man, Thanks for the reply. I'll take a look at that option and see. When it happened i was turning the key to the start position, the starter kicked in, "Rrr Rrr Rrr" for a second or two. Then from the start position the key cylinder that holds the key continued to rotate clockwise...

Thanks Kevin, i did put a flat head screwdriver in and try to give it a power twist backwards but to no avail. I am waiting for a Toyota mechanic here in Medellin to come by in a bit and give it a shot before i resort to the GTA method of hammering a screw driver in and vise grip it backwards...

FJ62 - 1988 The Key has rotated past the "START" (where it would mechanically spring back to "ON" position) and now is blocked. Currently I can't rotate back the key to the "ACC" position to push the small button to release the cylinder to try and repair it. Any experience with this issue and...
