Problem might be that one end of the spring sits on a small black piece of plastic which has popped out of position. I have NOT tried to actually fix the problem, yet, but just removed the bulb so that the battery doesn't drain.
3 screws need to be removed to see the black piece:

1. With a very-thin, flat screwdriver CAREFULLY pry the lens-cover off; I don't suggest trying this if you can't do it gently since you might crack the cover. If you then look upward in the center of the uncovered area, you will see the screw that needs to be removed.
2. Drop down the "sun-glasses compartment" and you will see the remaining 2 screws that need to be removed.

Finally, carefully disconnect at least 1 of the electrical harnesses.

You should see the small, black plastic piece in its correct position on the properly functioning light switch.

Good Luck!

Check fuel injector and fuel destributor. and line and fittings.

check the drive belts.

'don't open when hot' is where you fill-that is your fill cap for coolant, use a 50/50 mix of antifreeze and water, and fill to the cold fill level. And, don't do this if the engine is hot or has just been run for more than a few minutes.

you may have a converter that is plugging up and needs replacing.if you get a back pressure test on the exhaust system this will tell if its the problem.

There are 2 common problems for this, 1 is the power connecting wire to the lighter housing falls off, or if the wire is connected and has power, the lighter unit itself has an internal open circuit and needs to be replaced.

If some connections were changed then the ALWAYS ON +12 volt to the clock circuit back up is not powered all the time . check if while the battery was changed if there was any link that was disconnected that is the continuous supply to the clock.

take out the screws that hold the top and bottom shroud together.
there is a lock pin holding the ignition in place.take a small allen key and push it in to release it.personally,i would get a haynes manual for the 25bucks,because it will give pictures and detaails about not only this repair ,but most any repair...

Hello and welcome to FixYa!

If the battery light is on, I strongly suggest that you have the battery charged. It can be an indication of a weak battery or a faulty alternator. If the battery light still on after charging then the problem will surely be on the alternator itself. If that's the case the alternator should be replaced to resolve the problem.

If the battery won't hold charge even on a new alternator then the problem will be on the battery itself. It surely is in the end of it's service life and replacement will be necessary.

You may try to reset it to by removing the positive battery connector, letting it sit for at least 5mins. then reconnect it again. This will reset the system and can get the battery light off.

Hope this helps and thank you for using FixYa! Have a good one!

Its youre surpinteen belt need new 1 or a pully tentioner some tentioners Are ajustable its youre belt sliping Becuase of 1 of those reasons

check the front pads thickness

Appears it is an Oxygen sensor error, they are located in the exhaust system, in the v6, that code indicates the second bank (but unsure which bank that is) Ideally you need to take the car in for service, or at least inspect the Oxygen sensors, the code indicates that teh heater element has failed.

I had the same proble \m. You must of hit the button in the glove box. Just press the button in the glove box, and try it again.

It takes a special reset tool. VSC (Vehicle Stability Control) it's Toyotas' version of anti lock brakes. One of your sensors are either loose, shorted or disconnected and it needs to reset once scan has been done.

Hi !

I think your filter oil is as its shown on the picture bellow, its inside the housing. Good luck

Okay this means its working good and not a fuse or broken wire to trunk release, this leave one of two things that may be wrong, the first and most common is someone forgot to reconnect the switch connector when they remove the cover for some reason or the switch is bad, remove the cover that the switch is on and see if the connector is plugged into the switch, if it is then you may have a bad switch but i think you will find the connector is not connected, hope this helps.
