1998 to 2007 Toyota Land Cruiser Workshop Service Repair Manual pdf...

I had exact problem Santa Fe 2007 2008 lock was stuck in locked position and door would not open from inside or out. All other doors would unlock with auto key remote. Carefully work the inside lock towards the open position as you lock and unlock the door with the remote. As you press unlock try to assist the lock to open. I did this a few times and the lock became free to the open position and all worked perfectly after this.

1. Tail,Plate and panel lamps all work off the same fuse
2. do you have a trailer lamp kit on the cruiser?
3. check condition of trailer lamp wiring under rear
4. if not remove and inspect all tail bulbs and their connections
5. has anyone installed an aftermarket sterio setup possibly running a screw through a wiring harness?
6. PLEASE RATE THIS POST

no you will have to replace the bulbs as you cannot replace just the low beams, the low and high beams are both located within the same actual bulb, you can replace the bulbs yourself, refer to your owners manual to find instructions on the proper procedures for this...

Hi, there, ye i have a similar problem, both my taillights and brake lights go on when i turn my lights on... i havnt found the solution to that yet.
But to answer your question on how to remove the taillight you undo the 2 screws on the inside of where the tailgate door closes and then pull the light out away from the car... ie to the side... there are 2 clips inside that you have to pull to make release.
the tail lights in the tailgate you have to remove the carpet and then undo the pannel.

Look at an auto wreckers near you , they should have lots for cheap.

AT THE BACK OF THE BACKING PLATE THERE IS A RUBBER AT THE TOP REMOVE THE RUBBER THEN YOU CAN SEE THE SMALL GEAR INSIDE THEN ADJUST THE GEAR USING FLAT SCREW DRIVER ON COUNTER CLOCKWISE DIRECTION.

Hi,

I am assuming that you have a series 80 diesel engine and that it has run for about 100,000 kms hence the warning light and the changing of the timing belt. Based on the instructions of its repair manual you need to "remove the grommet off from the speedometer and turn off the lamp by pushing the warning light reset switch, then replace the grommet." Alternately, you can try to reset the entire computer of the vehicle by removing the battery cables for a couple of minutes. Pls note that some car radios/head units would revert to security default (ask for a code) when power is completely removed.

Hope this be of initial help/idea. Pls post back how things turned up or should you need additional information.

Good luck and kind regards.

Thank you for using FixYa.
