Re: URGENT - A/C won't power on - ideas?

Well, I had replaced the compressor before because it was broken due to bad bearings. So the "replacement" compressor is fine. The A/C is blowing ice cold now, like all Toyotas do!

Re: Headlight bulb replacements - bright white options?

There are fans but they aren't noticeable with the engine running and the hood closed.

I'll get some pics the next time I'm out at night in a dark area.

Re: Headlight bulb replacements - bright white options?

Well, with no one answering, I went exploring on my own :) I bought LEDs for the H3 and H4 bulbs and installed them this morning. Went pretty well, no major issues. Headlights are much brighter now. The ones I bought from Amazon are: HB3 18,000 Lumens: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0CYCFXG6J/re...

Re: Tire Pressure Reset issue

Unplugging the battery apparently cleared it!
Thanks

Re: URGENT - A/C won't power on - ideas?

Turns out it was a fuse. They suspected a short in the wiring in the compressor, but I told them the compressor had just been replaced.

Cost me $700 to get the compressor installed and the A/C unit fixed total. Not awful!

All better! WHEW!

Headlight bulb replacements - bright white options?

So these bulbs for my 1997 - the 81210D is the low beam, the 81110D is the high beam, and the 81110B is ? The Toyota part numbers are 90981-13047, 90981-13046, and 90981-13058. But can any of them be purchased in bright white versions? Mine are kind of dim. I assume some of that is due to age? Even ...

Tire Pressure Reset issue

Anyone know the trick to reset the “tire pressure” error message on the dash, when you change the air pressure in your tires? The advice in the manual is not working. Pressing the reset button under the dash until the correct message is displayed, then driving the car immediately, is not working. Th...

Re: Paint

Yes of course. You just have to search for your paint code. I bought 8M3 touch-up paint on Amazon.

Re: URGENT - A/C won't power on - ideas?

Thanks, yeah, we know the button that turns the system on. It does not turn it on. :)

Something in the system is preventing the control panel from turning on.

We've seen something about the "ambient temperature sensor" being a problem that causes this, so we are looking at this now.
