buy one cheap on ebay

well u just connect that to ur RED cable power line of ur radio or the simpliest way is to tap that to ur cigarette lighter line!


That'l solve the puzzle!

The electric power is 100% dependent on a Electronic Control Unit to operate and provide assist when needed, there is no way around this in the Toyota design, sorry but you are not going to be able to overcome this.

if its a genuine toyota part, ANY toyota dealer can order on up for you (its gonna cost)you will then have to get it coded by a dealer.

OIL LEVEL CHECK Every time you stop for fuel, check the engine oil as follows:

1. Park the vehicle on level ground.
2. When checking the oil level it is best for the engine to be at operating temperature, although checking the oil immediately after a stopping will lead to a false reading. Wait a few minutes after turning off the engine to allow the oil to drain back into the crankcase.
3. Open the hood and inspect the level of the engine oil tank. The fluid level on the tank should read between FULL or F and LOW or L.
4. If the level is below the LOW or L line, remove the cap and add enough engine oil to reach the FULL or F line. Fig. 1: Fill the engine oil tank located under the hood first
   
5. Install the oil cap and hand tighten.
6. After filling the oil tank, remove the engine access hole cover on the drivers side. Fig. 2: Make sure the oil tank is to the F mark Fig. 3: The oil dipstick is located under the driver's side engine access hole cover Fig. 4: Place your finger through the hole and pull straight up to remove
   
7. Remove the engine oil dipstick and wipe it clean.
8. Reinsert the dipstick, push it in as far as it will go, the pull it out and look at the level on the end.
9. If necessary, insert more oil through the oil filler cap next to the dipstick, this will completely top off the system. Fig. 5: The oil dipstick has two markings for level check Fig. 6: To fill the crankcase, remove the engine oil filler cap

The obvious will be to check the fuse, which I'm sure you have....

• Next, locate the relay in the fuse box, There should be a directory on or inside the box lid.
• Using a simple test lamp, remove the relay and identify the coil side and the switch side of the relay
• The switch side will have the larger terminals.
• Take a thin piece of electrical cable and strip off about five millimeters of insulation from both ends....On one side leave the wires intact and on the other use ONE strand of the wire.
• Push the multi strands of wire into the power side of the relay socket....and then using the single strand of wire.... touch and remove (less than half a second) the wire into the output side of the switch.
• If the horn sounds as I suspect it will.
• We go inside the cabin to the steering wheel.
• I believe that for this job you should take it to a shop, This part of the work can be dangerouse
• But if you'd like to carry on knowing there is danger, we can continue at your own risk, realising that the air bag may be ignited.
• Remove the fuse for the air bag.
• Reach behind the wheel and locate the fixing screw holes.
• There will be four.
• Use a machine (star screw) driver and remove the screws.
• Lift off the Air bag unit and unplug it.
• Loosen and remove the center nut from the steering wheel and using a puller pull of the steering wheel....
• Turn the wheel over and take note of the unit fitting.
• Remove the damaged unit and fit the replacement, making sure to align it as per instructions.
• After replacement, assemble, making sure of steering wheel alignment.

I'd be happier if you take it to a workshop, but happy honking either way....Regards Johngee10

first check the coolant level, then check to see if the fan is working.
if low on coolant then fill it up and check for leak.
if fan don't come on then check fuse and wiring
if you have a fan driven by a blet then do not have to check the fuse.

The flashing light is a fault code. The vehicle should be taken for a scan at your local shop.

HERE is a diagram of alternator wiring at alternator do you also need where wires go?

when was it last serviced?

Take off your door panel and take a look. You can open it by manually pulling the door handle level.

You want to pull the level with the yellow tab to lock/unlock the doors:

And you want to pull towards the front of the car for on this level that my hand is on to open the door.

Thanks. Keep updated for any more query. You can rate this solution and show your appreciation

you dont ...... you change the water pump always use new stay away from rebuilt or remanufactured pumps . its probably time for a timing belt also if your car has it

Take that plastic V8 siver cover off and throw it away. Unplug the wire connection that looks like the piece you purchased. Remove the 12mm bolt that is holding the old one in place. It is pushed onto the sparkplug below. Pull out the old one. Push in the new one. reinstall the 12mm bolt. plug in wire connection. I believe the #2 can be reached without removing the plastic air intake.

Hope helps (remember to rate and comment this).

I would suggest changing the speed sensor. be careful toyotas most of the time have 2 one on trans and one in cluster. most always is one on trans,

one starter pre car ...

have to go from inside the trunk through back of housing. may need to remove a panel covered by carpet to expose the panel. then just unscrew the bulb holder and swap out the bulb.

Dont remove the cam gear until you remove the crank shaft bolt.If you turn the crank with out the cam gear in place you may bend some valves.And damage the head,or a piston as well.
You can use a bar, and a socket on the crank bolt, if it clears everthing and rests on the frame work,then engauge the starter,this will loosen the crank bolt,but dont start the engine.Just a few hits on the key.Stand clear of the bar,!You may have to heat the bolt head a bit,as well.The bolt may have had locktite installed on the threads.Have the battery fully charged.

when you squeeze the hoses are they soft and bulging at the clips.then try looking for the leak around these....

Is your serpentine belt in good condition? If not, replace it. You'll need a volt meter to check out how much the alternator is charging. Attach it to the negative & positive terminals of the battery & start car. It should read 13.2 to 14.6 volts. If it does not, you have either grounded a positive wire somewhere or your new alternator is not working. Have it tested at the automotive shop you bought it at. Good luck, I hope this helps!

Have you checked ALL fuses, Thats were power comes from, not the ECU.
