    Alternator Replacement

    probably best to sit out, leaky diodes can cause other problems like damaging electronics and draining the battery (which can then also strain the starter if you’re even able to start and will further strain the alternator). looks like diodes can overheat and that can happen when trying to...

    Dead Battery (3x in 2mths) - 30A BAT Fuse has 500mA draw - what next?

    Steps to reproduce: 1) latch hood 2) clamp doors that you need to get into for troubleshooting. Would suggest at least both passenger side doors but possibly also driver side if your issue may be there. (If you suspect dvd problem, it would be narrowed down to the passenger side junction box...

    Dead Battery (3x in 2mths) - 30A BAT Fuse has 500mA draw - what next?

    some additional pics of dvd light on (heard noise as well) when the key was out, car was off for hours. Hood latch so I can open/close hood without waking the car system, same for the door sensors. Also - this post: Parasitic Battery Drain drop down DVD final picture shows the location of the...

    Dead Battery (3x in 2mths) - 30A BAT Fuse has 500mA draw - what next?

    So - I finally got my hands on a data logging multimeter and decided to try and track this down once and for all on my rig. The issue in my case was the rear DVD player intermittently spinning up. I ran many data log sessions and identified some clear patterns of what normal/abnormal draw levels...

    Parasitic Battery Drain drop down DVD

    2001LC, Scoin - thanks a ton for the details and pics in this thread. It helped me finally resolve my issue with intermittent drain that I posted about over 7.5 years ago in this thread. Planning to post more details there about how I finally pinned it down, but once I determined it was the DVD...

    Dead Battery (3x in 2mths) - 30A BAT Fuse has 500mA draw - what next?

    Can you elaborate on what you unplugged? Just a fuse or a wiring harness? At least personally prefer not to disconnect the entire radio unit but if it's just the changer no biggie. Picture of what was disconnected? How easy/hard to get to the part that needed to be disconnected.

    Hitch Bike Rack that allows upper hatch access?

    With kids getting into bike riding now, started to realize I wasn't using the bike rack as much for longer trips due to inability to open hatch with bikes loaded. So - started considering the swing out or platform styles that allow you to swing out/lower while loaded. Really liked the look of...

    How to replace Camshaft Oil Seals?

    Funny I was just looking at my timing belt job sticker from 91k miles back in April 2011. I feel like I posted more details on another thread (will look later), but my recollection is that I bought a lisle puller but it ended up being useless so I ended up using scottm's suggestion and it worked...

    P0051 & VSC Trac & VSC OFF came on today. Can anyone help?

    Wow - yeah haven't seen my mileage tank like that, a tad better if anything. wonder if you can call or email denso with pics/serial and see if the ones you get this time around are fakes or not. Amazon can be confusing at times - like i get the sense they sometimes aggregrate product reviews...

    P0051 & VSC Trac & VSC OFF came on today. Can anyone help?

    Seem to be working for me, no cels since. Sure looked to me like legit denso parts nib but can't say with 100% certainty they're not fake etc. On the point of 100% certainty, how do you know the failed catalytic converter was on account of the denso sensor from amazon?

    New Member Intro and a small problem...

    Same p0051 along with vsc lights, replaced 02 sensors with oem denso for way cheaper than toyota/lexus parts (did both heated while in there) and good to go so far. Personally was easiest to access heated sensor from underneath. O2 socket was useful just to break 'em loose. Sent from my iPhone
