One user's answer There are three ways to shut off the "Check Engine Light" discount battery (not recommended): use a scan tool and delete code, or wait 40-80 key cycles, depending what the code was set for. Now, if you discount the battery for around 5 minutes, the Check Engine Light will come off, BUT all memory will be lost. Therefore, the vehicle would have to "relearn" new criteria/values. It will come back on as soon as the symptoms are seen again and you...

That is a case of damage to your property by them and you would have to make that claim against them. Obviously they can go on your property to get the vehicle, however they are not allowed to damage your property in the process. The bad part is considering the value of the trees/damage done, is it worth a law suit and the cost of a lawyer? Negative. They cannot damage any property while trying to get to a vehicle.If they do...

First off use a spray lubricant very liberally on the threaded area of the sensor. (I recommend PB Blaster. It is a miracle in a can!) Secondly, cut the lead wire close to the sensor so you can use a socket on it. (preferably a 6 point to reduce the risk of rounding off the soft brass hex. Use 1/2" drive for leverage). when installing the new one use a crescent wrench. Do not over-tighten. Mike ...

There can be no general answer to this question. MUCH depends on the area of the country (or world) you are asking about - whether it will be done by a dealer or an independent shop - and the quality of the parts that will be used. ...

Winter or all season wiper blades, the 2009 Toyota Corolla takes 26" drivers and 16" passenger side wiper blades. See sources and related links below for more information including info on winter wipers. Since there are over 22 different wiper arm attachments, do not buy wipers just by length only. Be sure to lookup exact wiper blade part numbers by vehicle make, model and year for the brand wiper you decide to purchase. This ensures correct length AND correct attachment. ...

halogen lights get very hot. bath rooms are very damp places. there may be a thermal breaker built in to the light that when it gets too hot (ie- cause it was installed incorrectly,no breathing room above it, insulation stuffed too much around body of light) this may explain the off/on situation. you didnt state how they flashed on/off? quick flashing? off then 25 min later on again? very imporant!!!! ----call an electrician--- I dont care if it is a $900/hr guy...

hi, i recently was in the same situation and found an easier solution... removeing the switch is timely and costly(and a pain in the neck). simply go to the local auto junk yard and purchace a matching steering column and key set for that car for about 50 dollars and twenty minutes, compared to more than 150 for the ignition switch and another 150 for labor. hope this helped. Some ignition switches are located in the dash board next to steering column....

Replace the CD player. To pull the plastic baffle off the dashboard: Adjust the heating vents so they point downwards. Grab the plastic bar between the heating vents and the stereo. Pull. Remove the screws from the front of the mounting brackets. Pull out the crappy stereo. Unplug the antenna and the wiring harnesses. Transfer the mounting brackets to your new stereo. Cut off the big wiring harness (unless you're lucky enough to have a replacement stereo that accepts the same kind)....

You remove the black cover from the inside of the driver door and unbolt the old mirror then bolt up the new one and replace the cover. There are 3 types of mirrors depending on model and options 1. a manual mirror that you have to reach out the window and move the mirror. 2. a manual mirror with an inside adjustment stick. 3. a power operated mirror. The first two are easy, carefully pry of the black cover inside the car where...

On my 1995 Corolla, it is on the back side of the EVAP unit, which is attached to the left (driver side) of the engine block. Another way to locate it is by following the thin vacuum line from the charcoal cannister at the left rear of the engine compartment, this line enters the TVV (Thermal Vacuum Valve) that extends out of the EVAP unit. Perhaps the 97 is setup the same way, but I'm not certain. ...

You need to take any plastic switches or buttons out of the way and then using a screwdriver, take every screw out that is holding the dashboard in place..be sure to remember where everything goes so when you put it back you won't forget anything.

Note Check all fuses before you take anything apart because...

This was on my 1998 Corolla, but the procedure should be the same. You must remove the center console to get at the burned out bulb. This can be tricky because Toyota doesn't make it easy to access this area. First, open up the stoage compartment in the console. Remove the little square of carpet and you will find two bolts. Removing them. Next, there is one screw on each side of the console, near the base. Remove these. Carefully remove...

Answer- OK, I have the same car and went through the same confusion. Use Dextron 2 or 3 as Toyota recommends. Don't use power steering fluid and don't think about brake fluid. The steering pumps in these cars are weak and love being replaced. It's not an easy job to change these out so you better use the Dextron 3 and keep up on the maintenance of your 17 yo car and it will take great care of you! Answer Dot...
