Help - wireless central locking busted

Postby Qwerty on Wed, 26 Oct 2011 9:21 +0000

Hi guys

Leaving tomorrow on a camping and wake boarding trip

Today had sub , 2 amps , and deck wired up by car stereo mob

Realized tonight I can't lock or unlock car with either of my keys

Central still works if I put actual key in the door and twist it , just no wireless off the key

Car starts as normal

Any ideas what I can check myself ? Can't get back to Audio shop til next week

Oddly my interior light has again stopped working, but this has been a weird ongoing one pre existing (hadn't as yet properly chased this one)

I do have the ignition buzzer mod

Noticed under drivers seat there's something unplugged (and something else that isn't )

Just realized a new problem , every time I power car on , it's reset itself , all computers etc , like car is losing total power every time I turn off the key

Though at least my fridges, lights, and stereo system (all off aux battery) are running perfectly !

beer and tunes = priorities.

Fixed!

7.5amp fuse for the interior light was blown.

This somehow caused the following behaviour

1) wireless keys no longer work.
2) Computer system loses power once key off, causing car to be "factory reset" each time it's started.

Weird that toyota would link systems like that on the same fuse / circuit.

Hi mate,

I know this is an old post, but just thought i would comment on it seeing as i had the same problem stump me for a few days last week.

The 7.5amp fuse under the label of "DOME" was one of the last fuses i checked.

The "dome" label threw me for a while but in the end im glad it was something so simple!

i wonder how common this problem is...

cheers.
