Success in Cleaning Transfer Indicator Switch #84222-12010 !!!

[cliffordA]

Hi, I also had a problem with my transfer indicator switch. My dealership wanted $90 for the part and about 1 week to get it. I had success with just cleaning the switch instead of having to buy a new. Just finished a write-up on it in case anyone's interested: Transfer Indicator Switch Problem with 4WD Toyota/Lexus Center Differential Lock

Thanks,

SERIOUSLY! Great writeup, welcome to mud!

Times five! Kudos! Now if you can help me determine why my ECT switch doesn't work...and why I have to fuss with the recirc button to get it to switch back and forth between inside/outside air

Excellent write up!

Are you in the Raleigh area?

Spressoman - I had the recirc button issue with all 3 99s I owned. I now have a 00 and have never experienced this issue. I wonder if you could switch the reciric switch to a 00 switch.

Ha...great write up Clifford. This was the switch that solved it for me during my warranty. The dealer threw in a new $1200 TRAC/VSC CPU to no avail. They finally swapped this switch and wa-la! Mine would indicate lock and unlock though. I kept getting a false "VSC/TRAC malfunction light".

I wish this still worked.
