    Hazard lights won't turn off? WTF?!

    The dealer-installed alarm on my 2008 4Runner sometimes activates all the hazards if I unlock a door or roll down a window without completely deactivating the alarm system. It is really weird, it is just the hazard lights flashing and the horn does not sound. To stop the hazards from flashing...

    Question about throwing two misfire codes

    The same thing happened to me yesterday in my 98 LC: It started running rough and the CEL came on. The codes were P0303 and P0306 (misfires on cylinders 3 and 6). I also had code P0300 (random misfire). I put the new coil on cylinder #3 and that did not fix it, so I moved the new coil to...

    removing (OEM?) steering wheel cover?

    I recovered the steering wheel on my 1998 LC with brown leather handlebar tape from a bicycle shop. It looks awesome, it only cost $25, and there is no need for sewing or removing the steering wheel. brown leather handlebar tape.

    Slow crank Starter

    First thing, I'd try using a battery charger or a jump start. If that works, then maybe replace the battery with a new one. The starter on my 98 LC is pretty sensitive to having a fresh battery, and it has slow crank when the battery is dying. Just because it will run the headlights does not...

    Ignition Lock Problems

    it has to do with the radio frequency (rf) security system; there is an rf chip in the key, and an rf reciever near the key hole. There is a circular shaped antenna device around the ignition keyhole, and if it does not detect the rf chip in the key, then the computer cuts fuel to the engine...

    Canoe on Roof Rack

    I have carried a canoe on the stock roof rack for 1000s of miles and it has worked out fine. I recommend: - Use closed cell foam pipe insulation (similar to pool noodles) at the points of contact between the boat and the rack. - Tie the bow line and the stern line from the boat to the front...
