The radio antenna on my 2005 Toyota Echo cannot be pushed in so that the car can go through a car wash. I have used WD40 on it a couple of times, to no avail. Is there anything I can do?

The weather has been very cold and snowy for a couple of months, and the roads are covered with salt. I have wondered if the salt that is covering EVERYTHING is partly to blame.

Disconnect your negative battery cable for about 10min. After you re-connect, the stereo should reset itself and start functioning. Best of luck!

SOURCE: How to....remove radio sepakers (rear) from a Toyota Echo??

It's really easy to remove the rear speakers. First, get in the trunk and find the 3 white anchors for the rear deck-they're near the rods for the trunk mechanism. Push them through the metal frame to free the deck. Next, you have to get in the back seat and remove the stop light from the deck. To do this, push in the pins on the locking mechanisms on either side of the light to free the back casing. Pull the pins out and the casing off. Next, undo the two bolts holding the stop light in place and pull it off-don't forget to undo the wiring harness. Next, find the three anchoring points for the back seat. Gently lift the two side ones free of their anchors. This gives you access underneath the deck. Free the deck and gently lift it over the seat. You'll have to jimmy it a little to get the locking clamps free--they're all along the back of the deck. Pull it free and you have access to the speakers. I believe the factory speakers are 5 1/4 inches
Try to use Toyota speaker adapter plugs so you don't need to cut wires and mess the electric system up. You can get them from Ebay or Amazon.

cheers

What type oil do i use in my 2005 toyota echo

Have you looked at your oil fill cap? It should tell you what type of oil to use. I have a 2002 Echo 1.5l and mine says 5w-30. I also have a 2005 Pontiac Vibe and it has a Toyota engine 1.8l that is slightly bigger than the 1.5lmotor in our Echo and it also takes 5w-30. I think you would be safe using 5w-30; however, I would look at your oil fill cap.

2005 toyota echo two days before i wash engine. then engine working not smoothly some vibration and not going smoothly what can i do?

Sounds like you got the ignition system wet. Remove the coils, and dry out the spark plug wells. It would be a good idea to apply dielectrig grease sparingly to the inside of the plug boots.

I have a 2006 Toyota Tacoma Double cab and up until a few months ago my radio was working perfectly, but now my reception is terrible. Do you think the antenna has become disconnected underneath the dash...

Your diagnosis sounds about right. Antenna cable is large round cable pushed into rear of radio. Common with bouncing/stiff suspension on trucks.

I think it's a problem with the radio itself. The antenna only responds when the radio is turned on / off. So the antenna sounds like it's working properly.

How to fix 98 toyota 4runners antenna? It stuck and won't go down or up. But I can hear motor spining when I start Radio. Can somebody Help me~?

This more than likely needs to be replaced.This is not very hard to do,usually a couple of nuts,a wire harness(plug),and you're good to go.You could try to lubricate(WD40) the arial slightly then try to gently push it down or pull it up,but if you have to force it the the drive assembly inside the antenna casing will probably brake.
