    Tools for cleaning contacts

    Like it says, I'm looking for tools to clean the contacts on the connectors in the kick panels. I thought I'd finished cleaning them up but the gremlins are back and I'm trying to get the small pins cleaned up without breaking them. I used a coarse brush the first time with iso alcohol and...

    Keyless entry not working

    My ‘08 LC hasn’t been used much and I’m getting ready to sell it but now the keyless entry has stopped working. The fob locks and unlocks but when I lift the door handle I get a little red flashing light on the fob. Yeah, I didn’t know there was one either. Same when I push the button on the...

    Trailer sway control.

    Just a quick comment on the trailer braking sway control in my ‘14 LX. We have just returned from a 5,000 km trip around BC and I have finally found out how you activate the trailer sway control option. I have been trying to figure how to test this feature or find if it is even real and on out...

    Clearing loose gas cap codes.

    I haven’t seen this brought up before and I thought that I’d share my experience. Sorry if it is old news. I started up the LX the other day only to see the “traction control disabled” message on the dash. Being a good Mudder I went to the gas cap and sure enough it was loose. Tightened cap...

    Nav screen stopped dimming

    Like it says, my screen stopped dimming at night. Re-checked settings , turned auto on and off repeatedly. The lights come on and work normal at night and when I cover the sensor on the dash. Just wondering if someone has a similar experience before I disconnect the battery for a restart and...

    Door panel dog proofing

    The new dog is arriving next week and I’m looking for input on protecting the door panels from paws. The previous vehicles got chewed up pretty good so I’m not going bareback anymore. It’s worse with a new dog because the window is only half down until dog can be trusted/trained to not jump out...

    Electrical gremlin

    i have an ‘08 LC. The seat heater switch failed and I installed an eBay replacement with no issues a year ago. I also had a rodent nest in the cabin air filter about 2 months ago. The truck hasn’t been driven much because there is a ‘14 LX in the garage which went in for some body work 3 weeks...

    Part Two

    So after our trip to Dawson City in '16 I was feeling like we missed an opportunity when we didn't go to the Arctic Circle. It seemed like a real waste to be so close and not go the extra mile to be able to say we had been in the Arctic. So in the middle of June '17 we left for the Arctic. This...

    A couple of trips to the north.

    It was suggested that I post a trip report on my trip to the Arctic Circle and I have decided to post one on our trip to Dawson City last year with the LC and one for this years trip to Inuvik with the LX. We went to Dawson City last year with our '08 LC and 25 or 27 foot trailer. The model...

    Icon challenges

    Like it says, I switched to Icons on the front from stock and had a terrible torque steer issue so I tried the UCA's from Light Racing but although it is better it still doesn't work for me. I am in the process of returning to stock and I was wondering if anyone else was taking this route? I...

    Spiral cable fail

    Has anyone else had their spiral cable fail? My '08 started having sporadic issues with the cruise control, wouldn't come on, wouldn't turn off with the switch, wouldn't resume to previous speed, etc. and finally the airbag light lit up on the dash. Of course it stayed on through numerous...

    Eject DVD for Nav

    Does anyone know how to eject the DVD for the Nav System? I have a new disk and cannot find anything on how to eject the disk in the player. There are no buttons in the glove box and I can't find anything in the manual or on the Electronic Service manual. Okay, never mind. I went back through...

    Connecting iPhone to Cruiser

    I recently updated to an iPhone4 and can't get the hands free to connect. Has anyone else had this problem? Is there a software update? I had no problem with my iPhone 3gs. Oh, never mind. The voodoo Bluetooth gremlins allowed a connection for some reason. Works again.

    Electronic Service Manual

    I don't know if it has been posted before, but I just bought an Electronic Service Manual on eBay for $18 from a seller in Quebec and it is "the bomb". It seems to be genuine Toyota, for my 08 LC and as far as I can tell it is complete. I was reluctant to purchase it because it seems to be...

    I am not sure if this is a video of one of my trips, a simulator for driving lessons or a demo of the pedal issue other Toyotas have experienced.Toyota Simulator
