Expert Answers about Toyota FJ Cruiser
- Troubleshooting Trailer Tail Light Functions with 2010 Toyota FJ Cruiser
- I recommend using a circuit tester like # PTW2993 to check the wire function at your 7-way. You should have both the stop and turn combined for the left side at the 9 o'clock pin position and the stop and turn for the right side combined at the 3 o'clock position. When you have the brake on, the turn signal should still function. You can use a 7-way tester like # PK12741 to test that function as well. I've attached a video to assist.
If you have the both functions for each at that location,...

- Since the alternator of your 2012 Toyota FJ Cruiser is rated for 100 amps the Deka isolator part # DW08771 that you referenced would be exactly what you are looking for. I attached a wiring diagram for this isolator for you to check out as well.

- The cradles on the SportRack Bike Racks, like # SR2703, should be able to move some so you can position them the way you need to but they should not be moving once the bikes are on it.
First, you can remove the cradles and check for any stress fractures or marks that may indicate damage to the cradle. Fractures or stress could stretch it out and lead to it moving too easily. If the cradles seem to be in good working order, make sure the arms are clean and free of anything that may cause...

- Programmers are truly plug and play in that all you need to do is plug them in to your OBDII port and the let the programmer guide you through the install process. No mechanic would be needed at all. An Insight like the CS2 part # EP84030 that you referenced is not required either. It could be used with a programmer that didn't come with any monitoring type displays but definitely not needed.
That said we do not have any programmers for your 2007 Toyota FJ Cruiser that will give you additional...

- It sounds as if there was something that just was not connected correctly. There are a few things you can do to isolate the issue. First, start by fully applying the manual override and then let it snap back into place. Do this several times to clean the contacts inside the controller.
Next you will need to sever the blue wire a few inches from the back of the controller. Then use a circuit tester like # PTW2993 if needed to check the end of the blue wire coming from the controller. It...

- Let's first make sure everything is in the right spot and none of the pins are damaged on both your 2007 Toyota FJ Cruiser and Curt wiring harness # C55567. Unplug the harness and check both its connectors and the vehicle connectors. Look for any broken or bent pins because these can cause a short. If all the pins look good then make sure the connectors with the yellow, red, and brown wires are plugged in behind the driver's side tail light and the green on the passenger's side. If any...
view full answer... - Troubleshooting Running Light Circuit on 2011 Toyota FJ Cruiser 4-Pole Trailer Wiring
- When trailer stop and turn lights function but the running/tail lights do not, the most common cause is a weak ground connection, either on the vehicle's or on the trailer's wiring. Stop and turn signals are not on continuously the way running lights are, and this is why those running lights may need a better ground connection in order to be able to draw enough power to operate.
You can check this easily enough by disconnecting the trailer and applying 12V power directly to the trailer's...
view full answer... - Removing Global Door Lock Cylinder - No Original Key
- You can always call a lock smith but that is not cheap. I would not try to force them to turn as you could damage the reminder of the latch housing.
You will have to drill them out. Start with a small bit, like a 1/8, and work your way up to a 1/4 inch or 5/16. Eventually you'll remove enough of the cylinder that you can get the lock open. Do not drill very deep as you still need the structure that supports the new lock cylinder.
If in the worst case you end up damaging the latch then...

- With factory bolts, there is often thread locker or binding from time and debris. I recommend using a penetrating oil lubricant to work into the threading to allow you to loosen the nut. I recommend spraying the oil all the way around the nut only where it makes contact with the bolt and then using a wrench and mallet to add vibration to that nut. The vibration will help the oil get inside and loosen the hold. You may need to use a breaker bar to get the torque needed to loosen the...
view full answer... - No Brake Output Power After Installing Tekonsha Prodigy P3 on 2010 Toyota FJ Cruiser
- It sounds like the brake output power from the Tekonsha Prodigy P3 Trailer Brake Controller # 90195 is not reaching back to the 7-Way trailer connector.
I recommend checking along any wiring that was run from front to back on the vehicle and look for spots that have been pinched or damaged. You can wrap any damaged areas with electrical tape. Also check that all ground connections were made to clean bare metal surfaces free of any corrosion or debris. Ensure that the white brake controller...
view full answer... - Troubleshooting No Power at the Tail Light Pin on a 2007 Toyota FJ Cruiser
- If your vehicle's plug was factory installed, I would start by checking to see if you have a blown tow package tail light fuse. I've attached an image from your owners manual highlighting the position 3 location to check the 15 AMP fuse for your convenience.
If all is well in the fuse box, then I recommend looking under the vehicle to see if the wires have been damaged or pinched thus compromising the integrity of the wire.
If you cannot find a solution or the problem after following...
view full answer... - Brake Light & Turn Signal Will Not Work on One Side of a Trailer Connected to 2008 Toyota FJ Cruiser
- The easiest way to determine if the problem is on the vehicle side or the trailer side is to do a little testing. First, with the trailer disconnected, have someone sit in the tow vehicle to operate the lighting functions. Then use a circuit tester such as # PTW2993 to test the connector on the tow vehicle. If the connector does not show any power when it is supposed to then the issue is on the vehicle. If it does work as it should, then the issue is on the trailer.
On the vehicle side...
